Suitable Precautions

Loose fitting sandals, especially those with no heel restraint, are not secure and may present a tripping hazard. Loose long hair can be a danger to personal safety in the laboratory. It is readily ignited lacquer increases this risk or it could become trapped in equipment or machinery. Long hair should always be tied back. Gloves may be required to protect the hands against one or more of a range of different hazards, including chemical, biological, heat, and cold.
This makes it very important to select the correct type of glove for the intended use. Chemical protective gloves are available in a range of materials including natural rubber, neoprene, nitrile, butyl, PVA, PVC and viton. The degree of protection against chemical permeation depends on the glove material, its thickness and the way it is made.
In this story collection's barbed and arresting opener, The Party, Laura Boudreau gambles (not too riskily) that Leonard Cohen fans form a good. Suitable Precautions has 23 ratings and 5 reviews. When a woman discovers a fortune in the attic, she begins a pilgrimage that takes her to the knife-edg.
Glove suppliers provide information to assist in glove selection. It should be remembered that the liquid may be the solvent for other more hazardous chemicals being used and as such will enable these to diffuse through the glove with the solvent, which may also carry the chemical to into the skin. Solvents may also adversely affect the physical characteristics of the glove and impair its protective properties, for example by leaching plasticising agents out of the glove causing it to become more brittle, cracking and thus leak.
It is important to check gloves for damage such as holes, cuts and distortion. Reusable ones should be examined for signs of internal contamination. These are termed Category 1 gloves and are suitable only for low risk activities. In a laboratory setting, their value is very limited, because they offer little or no protection to the wearer against either biological or chemical hazards. They are of use only in preventing the work from being contaminated by the wearer.
Category 3 gloves will bear CE mark plus four digits e.

CE and will be suitable for protection against biological and chemical hazards for most of the uses in the laboratory. Gloves worn in the laboratory must be removed and placed for disposal before leaving the laboratory suite in which such work is being undertaken.

The physical effects are increasing pulse rate tiredness, headaches and dizziness, fainting. Chemical, electrical and mechanical safety must be carefully considered and it is important to ensure good ventilation. Because it is often necessary to work with reduced lighting levels it is most important to ensure good housekeeping.
The wearing of potentially contaminated gloves in the corridor, rendering others at risk, is strictly forbidden, unless, as a result of risk assessment, the School has sanctioned alternative procedures e. The normal requirements on removal of protective clothing prior to entering offices, seminar rooms, rest areas and when entering public areas apply.
Latex gloves are widely used to protect against exposure to harmful substances and also to protect work from contamination. Latex allergy is particularly associated with the use of powdered latex gloves — the powder helping to disperse the latex protein, resulting in exposures fifty times higher than arises from non-powdered gloves.
The powder used in these gloves can also penetrate the pores of the skin and when combined with sweat produced within the glove this can lead to adverse skin reactions. The use of pre-powdered latex gloves is prohibited within the University, because of the risk of these provoking dangerous allergic reactions and skin conditions. The use of disposable non powdered latex gloves must be avoided wherever possible and in all cases where there exists a viable and practicable alternative to the use of latex gloves the alternative should be utilised.
Their use is only permitted where latex provides a distinct advantage over alternative gloving materials for the task and the justification for selecting latex must be documented in a risk assessment. Where latex gloves are used, this must be fully justified, documented and supported by a risk assessment.
Suitable Precautions, by Laura Boudreau
Users must be provided with information on the risk of latex allergy, information on how to recognise possible allergic reactions to latex and on the need to report suspicion of allergic reactions to the Occupational Health Department. Suitable alternative gloves must be provided for users with diagnosed latex allergy. Advice on any additional necessary precautions should be sought from the Occupational Health Department as in more serious cases latex may need to be removed from the entire area.
Further and more detailed information is available on the Safety Office website. During laboratory work contamination on the hands may not be noticed immediately.

Never touch any part of the body the area around the eyes is especially vulnerable without washing your hands first. Always wash off any chemical contamination immediately. This includes washing contaminated gloves. If you do contaminate anything e. Always wash your hands before leaving the laboratory.

Food and drink for human consumption must not be stored, prepared, or consumed in laboratories. Special areas are set aside for the consumption of food or beverages. Where food or drink is required for human consumption under laboratory conditions, i. Food and drink along with preparation equipment and eating utensils must be stored and handled separately from chemicals and biologically toxic materials.
Separate refrigerators must be provided for the storage of food and drink and laboratory refrigerators should not be used. Ensure that you are properly briefed, or that you have done your literature work before attempting a new experiment. If you do not fully understand an instruction, are unsure how to operate a piece of equipment, or are unsure about the potential risks of an experiment, then seek help from a competent person before proceeding further. Unauthorised experiments are strictly forbidden.

It is important that communal work areas and facilities are kept scrupulously clean and tidy. The next person could be injured by the debris or chemicals you have left behind. Take care when entering or leaving a laboratory to avoid bumping into someone carrying chemicals or equipment. Chemicals must be transported in purpose-made carriers; a suitable trolley should be used for transporting other bulky or heavy items. Before starting an experiment you must consider what emergency action to take should it go wrong, or if the apparatus should break.
When the fire alarm sounds: If practicable make the experiment safe e. When starting work in a new area, you should check the location of all fire exit routes, the location of the fire fighting equipment and internal and external telephones. Laboratory working by individuals or the unattended operation of experimental apparatus outside of normal hours must be subject to appropriate local regulations and risk assessment.

It's a song for road trips across wide-open prairies, when you're not sure if you're running away from your refuge or towards it. The haunting refrain of this song "I can see a lot of life in you" speaks to me of regret and wistfulness and longing. It's the kind of song I put on repeat when I'm feeling low, and want to feel even worse, and so well-suited to a story called, somewhat misleadingly, "Falling in Love.

I play this when I'm feeling defiant, or when I need to walk down the street like I own the asphalt. Steve Earl is a rebel and a renegade, and an advocate against the death penalty. Who better, then, to sing for Franklin, the WWI pacifist-soldier of "Tick" who finds himself up against a firing squad? The Acadian intonation of this song, its repetition and its turn of phrase, has a whirlpool effect, drawing you deeper into the song; it reminds me of the Restigouche River.
Once upon a time, I played saxophone. Not as well as Lee Konitz, but I could wail if I wanted to. This live recording is improvisational and elastic, moving in ways that are both unpredictable and yet absolutely necessary. Its tensions and resolutions — its conversations, really — are fitting representations of the cacophony and intersection of characters in "The Vosmak Genealogy.
