Task 1 Design features. (This task meets criterion P3)
· Identify the key features necessary in a laboratory (services, furniture, access, safety equipment, fume cupboard, storage, workspace, seating)
Laboratories specialise in many different areas:- microbiology
- chemistry
- biochemistry
- pathology
- haematology
- physics
- analysis
- material science
- forensic science
- research
- viscousity of car oil investigation
· How might the design aspects vary from one type of laboratory to another?
Research what types of equipment and design are used in various laboratory settings.
Task 2 Your design. (This task meets criterion P3)
Design a science laboratory especially for learning BTEC Applied Science. Include all the features you identified in Task 2a, or if anything is not relevant, explain why.Draw a diagram of the laboratory layout on A3 paper, identifying the key features in the design of this special laboratory.
On your diagram showing the design, add annotations to show its individual key features.
Remember to include the following universal features;
- services,
- furniture,
- access,
- safety equipment,
- storage,
- workspace
- seating
Task 3 Explaining your design. (This task meets criterion M3)
To accompany your design from Task 2b, describe how the design is fit for purpose.Discuss:
Safety requirements:
- materials;
- radioactive substances;
- specialist equipment;
- health and safety requirements;
- waste disposal;
- toxic and flammable substances;
- storage;
- specific safety equipment and clothing;
· Discuss:Lab and information Security
· The Efficiency & effectiveness of laboratories
Explain why a good laboratory design is important for efficiency, effectiveness and safety of those using the lab space.
