ACHIEVING GOALS
EFFECTIVELY AND
EFFICIENTLY

Management
Activity that organize a group of people,

finance, equipment, facilities and or any other

physical objects effectively and efficiently to
achieve certain goals or objectives in an
optimal expected

IN THE LABORATORY CONTEXT,

MANAGEMENT REGARDING SOME ASPECTS:
PLANNING
ARRANGEMENT
ADMINISTRATING
SECURITY, MAINTENANCE, AND SUPERVISION

Planning
The process of systematic thinking, analytical,

logical about activities to do, the steps,

methods, human resources, energy, and funds
needed to achieve the predetermined goals
effectively and efficiently

Arrangement tool /
material
Arrangement tool / material is the process of

setting tool / material in the laboratory so well

ordered.
In arrangement tool / material is closely
related to regularity in storage and ease of
maintenance

THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE DOING THE

ARRANGEMENT:
Recognize tools and functions
Recognizing the properties of the materials
Quality tools including the sophistication and

thoroughness
Device
Value / price of the tool
The quality and rarity of these tools
The basic ingredients compiler tool
The shape and size of tool
The weight equipment

Storage of tools and

materials
The tools are often used, the tools may be

taken by students and expensive tools are

separated storage
The tools for physics experiments are usually
grouped according to the class of experiments

The tools used for some types of experiments

are stored separately in a special place.

The tools for biological experiments generally
kept by title of experiment or can be done
based on the tool and material

CHEMICAL STORAGE
The materials are often used
The materials may be taken alone as a dilute

solution of several salts, acids and bases

Materials that are rarely used
Hazardous materials (toxic, radioactive,
flammable or explosive).

Administration
Laboratory administration is meant a process

of recording or inventory facilities and

laboratory activities.
The right administration make all facilities and
laboratory activities can be organized
systematically.

Practice room
Dimension: 11 m in length, width 9 m,

and high ceiling 3 m

2.5 m2 of space per student
Both ends of a wall for the board or rack
cabinet
Both side walls of the window lighting, natural
ventilation, permanent table, and a shelf
under the table
Two main doors are wide enough
Other facilities: electricity, water, gas,
lighting, etc.

Science laboratory management

Maintaining the flow of laboratory use:
Schedule the use of laboratory is clear
The rules were implemented laboratory
unequivocally
Accident prevention tools: fire extinguisher,
first aid boxes, etc. in good condition
Providing the tools and materials needed for
the lab

The laboratory rules

To maintain the safety of users, tools,

facilities, and the building itself

Preventing accidents is better than treating
the victims and repair the damage
Elements of the order include: prohibitions,
orders, and instructions
The rules should be well understood before
doing lab activities

Security facilities required

Channel water to the tap and shower
Gas lines with central taps
Electrical network that is equipped with a fuse or

circuit breaker
First aid box that contains the complete drug
Telephone number of fire stations, hospitals, and
doctors
Fire extinguishers are ready to use and easy to reach
Tub filled with dry sand with a shovel
Fire blanket
Rules and regulations of accident prevention
