Spotting and avoiding red flags for autoclave lab safety<\/span><\/h2>\n

Imagine: you\u2019re on the verge of discovery and your co-worker who hogs the autoclave got there seconds ahead of you. It\u2019s over your shoulders, but the top one is your favorite, too, dang! You set a timer for the end of their run time and race back when it goes off. But your co-worker went on break! Your discovery waits for that good-for-nothing to finish their tuna sandwich.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"autoclaves

Poor autoclave installations undermine safe autoclave procedures<\/p><\/div>\n

\ud83d\udea9Determined to move forward, you decide to hustle their stuff out of the autoclave and onto one of the benches because it\u2019s. Your. Turn.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\ud83d\udea9You don\u2019t bother to drag the platform ladder over, it\u2019s heavy and the step stool will do. Are those safe autoclave procedures? Not really.<\/span><\/p>\n

\ud83d\udea9And you don\u2019t need the hydraulic cart, which is on the other side of the room for some reason \u2014 no one puts stuff where it belongs!\u2014so you open up the autoclave and pull out its contents, even though an intern sees you and goes to grab a cart. Could you wait? Yeah, but you\u2019ve waited long enough.<\/span><\/p>\n

\ud83d\udea9You have gloves, but no Tyvek coat or rubber apron, you left them at your bench. Safe autoclave procedures call for them, but this is quick. It\u2019s fine, you think, gloves are enough.<\/span><\/p>\n

\ud83d\udea9No one updated the log (surprise!) so, wondering what\u2019s inside, you pull the glassware<\/a> out of the autoclave in plastic trays. The trays are hot and the beakers are boiling, putting off gas.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\ud83d\udea9Whoa! The trays are a lot heavier than you thought and \u2014!!\u2014there they go. You watch them slip from your hands as you stumble backwards on the stool. Now the glass is breaking, the liquid inside pouring down your chest and thighs, burning. Not only are you in physical pain, but your discovery is still far off, your colleague\u2019s data ruined too.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019d waited and followed<\/span> safe autoclave procedures<\/span><\/a>, this could\u2019ve been a typical day at the office.<\/span><\/p>\n

You may be reading this dramatization (<\/span>based on findings after a real autoclave accident<\/span><\/a>) thinking it could never be you\u2014but it <\/span>could<\/b>. And that\u2019s why we work together to<\/span> plan<\/span><\/a>,<\/span> train in<\/span><\/a>, and internalize safe autoclave procedures and protocols\u2014so you can spot red flags before you run right through them.
