Wash your hands — before starting and immediately after finishing the lab.

Why: handwashing removes microbes you might have picked up and prevents spreading them outside the lab. If you wear gloves, remove them first and then wash. Also routinely disinfect your workbench (wipe with 70% ethanol or appropriate bleach solution) at the beginning and end of the session.
