Care of Balances:

Transfer of chemicals is not to be made to containers resting on the balance pan to avoid chemical damage to the balances. Transfer of chemicals is to be done on the benchtop alongside of the balances. Any chemicals spilled on the benchtop during transfer are to be cleaned up immediately by the student. Anyone found to be transferring chemicals to a container which is on the balance pan, or leaving spilled chemicals in the balance area will lose 1 point from their lab score for that week for each violation.

Cleanup of Lab Bench:

The students are responsible for cleaning up their immediate lab bench area before leaving lab. This means wiping up any spills and disposing of any paper towels, matches, etc. from the benchtop and sink trough area. Failure to do this will result in deduction of 1-3 points from their weekly lab score.

Breakage:

All items missing or broken at the end of the semester must be paid for. It is your responsibility to check for green slips (breakage) before checking out at the end of the semester. A minimum of $5.00 will be added to any unpaid breakage requiring billing after regular lab checkout.
