Laboratory Rules
I'm in the process of making a set of laboratory rules that I would like to print as posters for all the labs and also give a copy to the junior students. I was wondering if anyone else has done this? If so what are the rules in your labs?

Gloves
If you have allergies then I would recomend using low powdered gloves and also cotton gloves underneath.
