REMINDER:  Safety in KEC Student Lab

We've noticed scalpels being left uncovered on lab counters after use. This poses a serious safety risk.

To keep everyone safe:

• After use, always cover scalpels with their protective sheaths or caps.

• Used scalpels must be disposed of in designated sharps containers. Never leave them exposed on countertops.
