Handling Chemicals
l
Treat every chemical as though it is dangerous.
l
Label all chemicals.
l
Replace caps on reagents and solution bottles.
l
Never smell or taste chemicals.
2.3 Handling
Glassware
l
Check the glassware each time you use for any chips and cracks.
l
Dispose all broken glasses in a cardboard box or a container
designated as a glass receptacle.
3 Personal Protection Safety Rules
l
Always wear lab overcoat/apron while performing laboratory
experiments.
l
Always wear appropriate gloves if there are cuts on hands and
also while experimenting with hazardous or toxic chemicals.
l
Always put on safety glasses or whichever suitable protecting eye
wear while conducting or recording experiments or
presentations.
l
Use toe-covered footwear at all times in the laboratory.
l

and chemicals.
l
Be careful while transferring liquids since aerosols can develop
and they may be harmful to eyes and lungs.
l
Report promptly to your instructor if any contact with human
pathogens to limit your exposure to possible infection.
