This page provide links to laboratory safety information and guidelines for good laboratory practice. It is essential that everyone working in CVS research laboratories is familiar with the relevant safety  issues and aware of how to dispose of waste safely. You have an obligation to follow good safety practice for the benefit of yourself and work colleagues. It is particularly important that no non-laboratory personnel such as cleaners are exposed to any hazardous material. For additional safety-related information please refer to the Ophthalmology Safety Manual (kept in the molecular biology lab Rm118 c/o Noel Duffy), or relevant COSHH assessments for the work being undertaken.
