The following safety rules must be observed while performing any of the scheduled laboratory experiments in one of the Chemistry Laboratories. [1]
Students who are found in violation of the safety rules will be given a warning for the first offense, will be dismissed from the lab room for the second offense, and will be withdrawn from the lab for the third offense. If a violation is observed at a particular lab table such as spilled liquid - water or hydrochloric acid and those working at that lab table deny responsibility, all students working at that table will be considered to be in violation of the safety rules. [1]
Chemistry laboratories may be hazardous if the rules are not followed. During a chemistry course a student may handle materials …show more content…
Use knives and other sharp instruments with immense care. Always cut an object after placing it on a suitable surface for cutting.
While using electrical equipment be careful about the wiring, hanging and damaged cords. Be sure your hands are dry and the electrical equipment is turned off before plugging it into the outlet. Turn off all equipment when it has been finished.
Be a responsible and careful scientist by examining glassware to make sure that it is clean and is free of chips. Report damaged glassware to the teacher. [4]
Clean your work area before leaving! Follow the teacher's directions for washing, unplugging and putting away the equipment. Wash hands with soap and water after working in the laboratory. [4]
Equipment Failure - If a piece of equipment fails while using, report it immediately to your lab assistant. Never try to fix the problem yourself because you could harm yourself and others. [5]
Never suck or smell anything unknown by mouth. [5]
Disposal - Students are responsible for the proper disposal of used material if any in appropriate containers. [5]
Treat every chemical as if it were hazardous. …show more content…
Procedures that produce aerosols should be performed in a hood to prevent inhalation of hazardous material. [4]
Never allow a solvent to come in contact with your skin. Always use gloves. [4]
Never "smell" a solvent!! Read the label on the solvent bottle to identify its contents. [4]
Don’t store food in laboratories. [4]
NEVER EVER LOOK INTO ANY LASER BEAM, no matter how low power or "eye safe" you may think it is. [4]
Always use "beam stops" to intercept laser beams. Never allow them to propagate into the laboratory. Never walk through a laser beam. Some laser beams can burn a hole through a shirt in only a few seconds. [4]
If you suspect that you have suffered an eye injury, notify your instructor or teaching assistant IMMEDIATELY! Your ability to recover from an eye injury decreases the longer you wait for treatment. [4]
Don’t store heavy items above table height. Any overhead storage of supplies on top of cabinets should be limited to lightweight items only. Also, remember that a 36" diameter area around all fire sprinkler heads should be kept clear at all times. [4]
When using compressed air, use only approved nozzles and never direct the air towards any person. [4]
Guards on machinery must be in place during
