Pre-lab Questions
1. In this course, you will utilize several types of growth media to
observe the nature of microorganisms. How can you protect
yourself from any microorganisms that you may work with in the
upcoming labs?
, BIO250L
I can protect myself from microbes by using gloves and safety
eyewear. I will also diligently practice good hand hygiene by fully
cleaning my hands both before and after participating in any
experiments. To reduce the possibility of microbiological
contamination and provide a secure laboratory environment, this
preventive measure is crucial.
2. What constitutes personal protective equipment? When should
personal protective equipment be worn?
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is meant to reduce the chance
of exposure to several types of potential hazards. This covers,
among other things, respirators, hard helmets, eye protection,
gloves, boots, earmuffs, and full-body suits. Proper personal
protective equipment (PPE) is essential when handling substances
like blood, respiratory secretions, and body fluids or when
confronted with possible chemical or biological threats. People's
safety in situations where these risks exist is ensured by using
personal protective equipment (PPE).
3. What is meant by “BioSafety Levels”? Why do researchers
utilize these when working with microorganisms? What level of
biological containment (which BSL) will be necessary to
complete the experiments in this course?
A series of biocontainment measures known as "biosafety levels" are
necessary to separate potentially harmful biological agents inside a
lab building. This helps researchers determine

what safety precautions are required in a laboratory to safeguard the
environment and the workers. BSL-1 is the BSL level that will be
needed to finish the trials.
4. What document should you refer to if you have questions
regarding the safety or disposal of a chemical? Where can this
document be located?
Refer to the Safety Data Sheets (SDS), which are available online at
the Environmental Health
