（Ⅳ）Heating Equipment
Heating equipment include open flame furnace, electric resistance furnace, incubator, drying oven, water bath, electric heat gun and hairdryer.
Common Facility and Apparatus Safety
（Ⅳ）Heating Equipment
1.When using heating equipment, take necessary protective measures. Strictly follow the operating guidelines. During operation, operator must not leave the place (at least 10-15 minutes between every observation). After use, turn off the power.
Common Facility and Apparatus Safety
（Ⅳ）Heating Equipment
2. Heating or thermal equipment should be placed on stable, flame-retarding experimenting table or on the ground. Do not pile flammable, explosive substances or other items near it.
3.Forbid using heating device to bake volatile flammable substances like solvent, oil products and plastic crate. If the heating creates toxic gases, oper- ate in fume hood.

（Ⅳ）Heating Equipment
4. Store the heated substances safely in a powered-off environment.
5. Do not use open flame furnace in the laboratory. If one has to use it for a sp- ecial occasion, apply for Open Flame Furnace Permit from the Department of Laboratory and Equipment Management.

（Ⅴ）Fume Hood
1. Do not store chemicals in or under the fume hood.
2. Before use, check to see if the ventilation system and other parts are in go- od conditions.
Common Facility and Apparatus Safety
（Ⅴ）Fume Hood
3. When operating, stay away from it at least 15cm, and try to reduce abrupt movement inside the hood or in front of the hood face. Minimize the movem- ent of people in the lab.

4. Do not store items that would stick out of the cabinet or jam the closure of the glass window.
Common Facility and Apparatus Safety
（Ⅴ）Fume Hood
5. Do not block the exit of the fume hood or the opening beneath the deflector. If one has to store items in the hood, elevate and place them on the sides. Elevate them from the fume hood work surface so that air will pass underneath them, and place them away from any contami- nation sources.
Common Facility and Apparatus Safety
（Ⅴ）Fume Hood
6. Check the exhaust performance on a regular basis. Maintain the ventilating effect. Do not jam the air outlet with paper or light objects.
7. During experiments, do not extend the head and upper body into the fume hood. Operator should adjust the glass window to elbow height so that chest and above are protected by it. When not operating, lower the glass window to 10-15cm from bott- om.
Common Facility and Apparatus Safety
（Ⅴ）Fume Hood
8. If there is mal-function, do not conduct any experiments Immediately close the hood window and contact maintenance personnel for repair.
9. After each use, clean the work platform and equipment thoroughly. Close the glass window. For fume hoods that are contaminated, hang some clear warning signs and notify other people to avoid unnecessary damage.

（Ⅵ）Emergency shower and eyewash station
1. Use emergency shower and eyewash station carefully. Maintain the access corridors clear. Do not use them unless there is alaboratory accident (except for repair).
2.Conduct maintenance on the emergency shower and eyewash station on a regular basis to ensure proper function. Keep records immediately.
