Practical work
Work with biological materials and chemicals can never be entirely risk-free
• At the start of each new piece of work with hazardous materials you must do a CoSHH assessment!.
• If you teach a practical class (or supervise a project student) you are responsible for student safety in the laboratory.
• Information is available on all potential hazards
![Page 8: University of Surrey Faculty Safety Guide Neil Chapman Health and Safety Adviser](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649e405503460f94b3204a/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

You must follow special safety procedures if you want to work with these materials!

Body fluids and Specimens
All body fluids in FHMS must be treated as a biohazard but known HG2 SAMPLES will be:
Labelled with biohazard label and stored in a Cat 2 Lab
Most known Hazard Group 3 positive specimens cannot be handled as the Containment Level 3 facility is for TB only
![Page 11: University of Surrey Faculty Safety Guide Neil Chapman Health and Safety Adviser](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649e405503460f94b3204a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
All viruses from humans are minimum of Hazard Group 2
Group 2 organisms can be handled on open bench provided aerosols are not produced
If this is likely use a biosafety cabinet NOT a laminar flow cabinet!
Treat samples with respect - as you would in your previous laboratories

Biosafety cabinets must used where infectious aerosols are generated
Offer protection to the user and the environment from infectious aerosols

3. Wash your hands as you leave the laboratory
4. Tell the H&S Adviser straight away if you have had an accident
5. Do your CoSHH Assessments!

"Just as you try to eat your greens and go to the gym, taking care of your emotional
wellbeing is as vital for overall good health and quality of life." Mark Goulbourne, Student
Mental Health Practitioner and Counsellor.
"Studies suggest that 20-25% of university students show raised levels of psychological
distress, slightly higher than the figure reported in the general population."
