The first-year Engineering Laboratory generally does not put students into any potentially dangerous situations; however, as in most lab environments, safety is a priority. At the beginning of each lab, students are informed about the day’s activities and cautioned on potential problems. 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 goggles at all times while in the laboratory.

Students sensitive to air-borne dust during concrete experiments are encouraged to wear face masks. The course instructor and the lab assistant routinely monitor students. In the case of an accident or emergency, students are asked to notify the instructors immediately.
