the safety shower.
Know the location and operation of the eyewash station.
If you clothes catch on fire, walk to the safety shower, stand under it, and pull the lever to start the shower.
If you get a chemical in your eye, walk immediately over to the
eyewash station, turn it on, and lower your head so that your eyes are in the running water. Hold your eyelids open with your thumbs and fingers, and roll
your eyeballs around. Flush eyes for 15 minutes.
The Results of Poor Eye Washing are on the Next Slide!!
If you have a spill on the floor or lab bench, call your teacher rather than
trying to clean it up by yourself.
If you spill a chemical on your skin, wash it off under the sink faucet, and call your teacher.
For all chemicals, take only what you need. If you do take more than you need, NEVER put the used chemical back into the
bottle. Ask your teacher
what to do with any leftover chemicals.
Always report any accident to your teacher immediately.
NEVER take any chemicals out of the lab.
Keep your work area clean and tidy.
Always wash your hands with soap and water before you leave the lab.
Chemistry labs are full of possible hazards and hazardous situations. Make sure your behavior does not make you a
