Note: this is a work in progress and a draft to be presented to the shackspace plenum for discussion.
Lab discipline is of crucial importance to ensuring everyones safety as well as the safety of the space itself.
No food or drinks in the lab! If you find anything inside the lab, destroy it at once!
No working alone in the lab! ALWAYS have a lab partner in there with you at all times!
To work in the lab you are required to undergo a „lab 101“ seminar given by a shackspace chemistry lab senior beforehand.
No experiments forbidden by German law
No experiments that you have not been cleared to perform beforehand
If an experiment is potentially hazardous, have it okayed by the shackspace chemistry lab senior team first!
Plan ahead and have a contingency plan if something goes wrong!
You're required to study first, experiment later!
No mixing of random stuff!
You should know beforehand what the result and intermediates of a chemical reaction will be.
You should know what could go wrong at every step of the way.
You have to take measures to ensure the safety of everyone (involved or not).
At least two people present in the lab are required to have attended a first-aid course no more than two years ago. Records of this have to be kept on file.
If something goes wrong, know what to do and who to inform and in which order to do what.
