I have spilt something on the floor/table/bench!
If you are unsure how to clean up a spill contact a staff member. If you know how to clean up a spill, contact a staff member anyway! We want to know if things happen in the lab to ensure everything is fixed correctly and to look at things that may have contributed to the accident so we can prevent it in the future. You will not be in trouble if you ask for help!
