Crime Lab Safety

ü     Use barrier protection, such as disposable gloves, coveralls, and shoe covers, if contact may occur with potentially infectious materials.

ü     Wash hands after removing gloves or other personal protective equipment. Remove gloves and other personal protective equipment in a manner that will not result in contaminating unprotected skin or clothing.

ü     Absolutely no eating or drinking on the crime scene.

ü     A good experimenter always records what they did, when they did it, and details about what they observed or found and they write these things down in a notebook (the Laboratory Record) at the time they carry out the experimental work. You should record you work in a notebook for this purpose.
