Lab Safety

- Make sure you're always cutting away from yourself when using scissors, scalpel, or a blunt probe
- Wash your hands thoroughly after touching a fetal pig (even if your using gloves)
- Clean any tools used in the lab and dry them thoroughly so they do not rust
- Before washing dissecting pan, make sure you dispose any left over fetal pig guts from the tray so the sink does not get clogged with unwanted guts
