Q & A

What is the primary purpose of the video?

The primary purpose of the video is to demonstrate the application of K3 (Health, Safety, and Environment) principles in a laboratory setting to ensure personal safety and support smooth research operations.

What is the first thing one should do before starting work in a laboratory?

Before starting work in a laboratory, one should read and pay attention to every safety regulation present in that laboratory.

Why is it important to read the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) before working with chemical reagents?

Reading the MSDS is important to understand the hazardous chemical symbols, properties, and incompatible materials of the reagents to ensure safety while handling them.

What should one do before using laboratory equipment?

One should read the equipment's operating instructions carefully before using any laboratory equipment.

What is the requirement for laboratory coats when working in a lab?

Laboratory coats must be worn correctly at all times while working in the lab, with all fasteners securely closed to protect the body and clothing effectively.

What additional personal protective equipment might be required in a laboratory?

Additional personal protective equipment may include gloves to protect from organic solvents, heat-resistant gloves, and masks for those using kerudung (headscarves). Hair should be tied back neatly if not covered by a kerudung.

Why is it necessary to clean the work area before and after working in a laboratory?

Cleaning the work area before and after working is necessary to prevent accidents and contamination, ensuring a safe and sterile working environment.

What should be considered when disposing of research waste?

Research waste should be separated according to its type, such as non-hazardous waste, hazardous waste, and glass waste, and disposed of properly.

What precautions should be taken when using flammable solvents near open flames?

Flammable solvents should be kept away from open flames like a Bunsen burner to prevent fires or explosions.

What is the procedure for using an autoclave?

Before using an autoclave, ensure there is enough water, close the autoclave tightly, set the temperature and time according to the needs, and turn on the machine. After autoclaving is complete, check that the pressure has returned to normal and the temperature has reached approximately 50 degrees Celsius before handling the sterilized items with heat-resistant gloves.

Why is it important to log the use of equipment in a logbook?

Logging the use of equipment in a logbook is important for tracking the equipment's usage, maintenance, and condition, which aids in maintaining safety and functionality.

What is the final reminder given in the video regarding safety in the laboratory?

The final reminder is to always prioritize workplace safety when working in a laboratory.
