Lab Manager Responsibilities

This is a comprehensive list of responsibilities that need to be fulfilled by the current lab manager.

Organize Lab Cleans:

• Lab cleans are essential for keeping our lab safe and sanitary. Lab cleans should be scheduled at a minimum once a month and more often if deemed necessary. You should send out a discord ping to all members a week before the scheduled clean to enlist help. Below is a list of all the items that should be done during a lab clean.
  • Wipe down and sanitize all surfaces
  • Sweep and vacuum the floors
  • Organize Electrical 
  • Put away all loose tools and projects
    • Check the integrity of all tools and contact the Treasurer if any need to be replaced
  • Refill water coolers
  • Feed parking lot cat

Lab Safety

• Lab safety is an important part of your role but easy to forget. New members should be trained in using all power tools. If possible, you should set up training workshops at the beginning of each semester. In the black lockers is a first aid kit, familiarize yourself with its contents and let all members know of its existence. 
• Lab safety also includes the big yellow chemical cabinet. Any new chemicals that come into the lab should be stored in that cabinet if they are at all hazardous, poisonous, or flammable. The chemicals should be maintained and regularly checked.
• ACID TAG: Yellow tags on items, do not get rid of anything with those or bad things happen.

Fire Inspection

• Once a year there will be a fire inspection from the school/government. They will go through and scrutinize the lab, go through our old, failed report to make sure you don't have any violations. (if i remember to attach it )
