SECTION 1

(on the phone)

WOMAN: Good morning Laboratory booking office

MAN: Oh, good morning I’m interested in booking your lab in March

WOMAN: Would that be the science laboratory?

MAN: Yes, that’s right

WOMAN: And in March, you say?

MAN: That’s right

WOMAN: Do you have any specific dates yet?

MAN: Yes, we do We’d like to reserve the lab for 2 days actually

WOMAN: OK

MAN: But they’re not consecutive days There’s a break of 3 days in between

WOMAN: That shouldn’t be a problem

MAN: At the moment, we’re looking at 5th March and 9th March

WOMAN: OK, let me just check those dates for you um the 5th is OK but I’m afraid we already

have a booking on the 9th

MAN: I see

WOMAN: We could actually do either side of the 9th, so the 8th would be possible as would the

10th Does that help at all?

MAN: Um yes I think it would be better to have a little more time in between sessions

rather than a little less so I think we’d like to go for the 10th

WOMAN: Ok, that’s fine, and I’m assuming you’d like to book for the full day on both days?

MAN: Yes

WOMAN: And you’ll be arriving at 9, will you?

MAN: Actually, we’d like to begin a little later at 10, but we’ll be staying until 6

WOMAN: OK, and could you tell me what time you’d like to take breaks?

MAN: Yes, we’d like a 15-minute break at 11:15, lunch break from 12:30 to 1:30, and a

30-minute break at 3:30 in the afternoon

WOMAN: OK, and sorry, the morning break is at what time?

MAN: 11:15, please

WOMAN: OK Can I just ask how many of you there will be? You know we can’t have more than 12

people in the lab at any one time

MAN: Yes, I do Actually, we’re just under the limit There will be 11 of us

Trang 13

MAN: Roger Jamieson

WOMAN: Is that J-A-M-E-S-O-N

MAN: Actually, it’s J-A-M-I-E-S-O-N

WOMAN: OK, sorry and could I also take a contact number for you Mr Jamieson?

MAN: Of course, that’s 0476 376580

WOMAN: 0476 376580

MAN: That’s right

WOMAN: OK, thanks Just a couple more things I need to check with you

-

WOMAN: So, you’d like me to send out the visitor pack to you?

MAN: I think so Could you tell me what’s inside actually?

WOMAN: Of course There is a general information section you know all about the lab, some

background information, and the facilities available Also there’s a section on safety of course there’s also a map showing where we are and how you can find us, and also the prices are included in that

MAN: I see, well, yes, that would be very useful But could I check a few of those items with you

now?

WOMAN: Yes, of course

MAN: Just regarding the price I have a note here saying the daily charge is £120, but I think it

might be out of date

WOMAN: I’m afraid it is out of date That was the daily rate about 12 months ago but the price has

gone up slightly since then Um now it’s £135 a day

MAN: I see, OK, that’s still OK And could I ask you what kind of safety equipment you provide

and what we need to bring ourselves?

WOMAN: Yes, we provide lab coats and safety glasses, and there’s no extra charge for those

they’re all included in the price Because shoe size can be a problem and we’re quite a small laboratory we don’t actually provide lab shoes But you don’t need lab shoes, actually, you all just need to wear closed-toes shoes, no sandals of course

MAN: I see OK, that’s fine And finally, I understand that there is a free bus service from the

station

WOMAN: That’s right It leaves every 20 minutes and it leaves from bus stop 7A, just outside the

station

MAN: 7A OK, I think that’s everything

SECTION 2

Good morning everyone and thank you for coming I know for many of you that there will be very

little new about the content of this talk, but as I’m sure you’ll all appreciate, we feel that in the

interests of health and safety we are obliged to go through the safety guidelines for using the

laboratories

I would like to start by saying that of course the university would prefer not to expose you to any risk

at all in the labs, or anywhere else on the campus However, for you to become fully trained scientists

you need to be aware of the full range of laboratory techniques in use Some of these can if they are

not conducted correctly can be hazardous If they are carried out following the safety practices we

have in place, they should not present any safety problems

I’m going to divide the talk up into the following sections: personal safety, lab equipment, chemicals,

biohazard waste, and finally cleaning-up

So, first on the list, personal safety now, you have a full list of safety measures in the handout but I

need to draw your attention to some points in particular The first of these is footwear You may be

surprised at the number of people who try to come into the lab wearing sandals in the summer

months, or backless shoes Of course nobody does this on purpose People forget, or they simply want

their shoes to match whatever they’re wearing that day we understand that it can be a nuisance But

not wearing sensible shoes can be extremely dangerous So please always be careful on days when you

need to go into the lab, alternatively you may like to invest in a pair of lab shoes

The other point I need to highlight with respect to personal safety is the need to look after yourself

when you’re in the lab By this I mean, it’s far too easy to get engrossed in your experiment and not

notice the passing of time You need to take regular breaks in order to stay fresh and alert You know

it’s a little like mountain climbing the vast majority of accidents occur on the way down and so it

is in the lab, the vast majority of accidents occur late in the day when people have already spent

numerous hours working So keep an eye on the clock and schedule regular breaks for yourself into

your program

OK, moving on to lab equipment, I’d like to highlight two points here Firstly, people who keep clean

and tidy benches are far less likely to be involved in accidents So keep your bench clean and tidy at

all times, clean up any spills immediately But also, please keep the communal areas clean and tidy,

too Any glassware containing chemicals that you need to leave in the communal areas, under the
