The first-year Engineering Laboratory generally does not put a student into any potentially dangerous situation; however, safety is a priority in most lab environments. At the beginning of each lab, students are informed about the day’s activities and cautioned on any potential problems that may occur. Students are reminded to pay close attention to the safety precautions provided and keep in mind that they are responsible for their safety and the safety of other students in the lab. In general, students are expected to behave rationally and responsibly.

Students are required to wear sensible clothing in the laboratory and to wear goggles at all times while they are in the laboratory.

During concrete experiments, students who are sensitive to airborne dust are encouraged to wear face masks. Students are routinely monitored by the course instructor and the lab assistant. In the case of an accident or emergency, students are asked to notify the instructors immediately.
