Laboratory Safety and Equipment Familiarization Flashcards

1
Q

Give safety rules in the laboratory

A
  1. NEVER work alone in the laboratory. Work in the lab only while under the supervision of your teacher. Do not leave equipment unattended while it is in operation.
  2. Read the entire experiment before entering the lab. Take the necessary precautions in performing the experiment. If in doubt, you can ask your teacher about it.
  3. Familiarize yourself with safety symbols and cautions posted in the laboratory room.
  4. Report all accidents to the teacher immediately, no matter how minor. In addition, if you get a headache, feel sick to your stomach, or feel dizzy, tell your teacher immediately.
  5. DO NOT perform unauthorized experiments or use materials and equipment in a manner for which they were not intended. 6. Experiments performed in the laboratory class must be approved by the teacher. Steps in a procedure should only be performed as described in the textbook or lab manual or approved by your teacher.
  6. Never play in the lab or use lab time or equipment for anything other than their intended purpose. Be cautious in using laboratory equipment and apparatus.
  7. Food, beverages, and chewing gum are NEVER permitted in the laboratory.
  8. Exercise caution when working with electrical equipment. Do not use electrical equipment with frayed or twisted wires. Be sure your hands are dry before using electrical equipment.
  9. Keep your working areas and apparatus clean and neat.
