Lab Safety

Lab Safety Always be safety conscious. Move around the laboratory in a safe and slow manner. Never perform unauthorized experiments. Follow all instructions, verbal and written.

Plan ahead. Become familiar with all the health and safety hazards of the equipment and chemicals to be used. If you are not comfortable, inform the teacher.

Know the location of the safety equipment and fire exits Know the location of the safety equipment and fire exits. Use this equipment only in emergencies. Report all accidents – no accident is too small to report. Do not attempt to clean up a spill until checking with the teacher. Broken glassware must be dealt with immediately. Inform teacher of all broken glassware.

Safety glasses must be worn while working with any chemical Safety glasses must be worn while working with any chemical. It is recommended that you do not wear contact lenses during labs where chemicals will be used. If you get chemical in your eye, do not wait for the teacher, have a peer take you straight to the eyewash station and flush eyes for 5 minutes.

If you get chemical splashed or spilled on your skin, flush it with water at one of the sinks around the room. If irritation or pain develops, see a physician. Wash hands thoroughly before leaving the laboratory. If you get chemicals on your clothes, wash the clothes, but not with good clothing. You should not wear loose clothing in the lab, nor should you wear good clothing.

Handle all chemicals as if they were dangerous. Tie back long hair. Do not consume food or drink while in the lab. Never taste the chemicals.

Keep workstations clear of all books, bags, and clothing Keep workstations clear of all books, bags, and clothing. Workstations should have only the materials needed for the lab. Do not sit on the workstation counter Clean all equipment thoroughly and put it back where you found it.

Follow all directions regarding the disposal of chemicals and solutions. Not everything goes down the sink. Do not put used chemicals or solutions back into the original container. Clean your lab station before leaving the classroom.
