This
year we will be doing several labs.
Labs can be very exciting, insightful, and fun. However, some labs can also be very
dangerous unless a few simple guidelines are followed. If, for any reason, you can not follow these
guidelines, you will be removed from the lab area and receive a zero for the
lab. THERE WILL BE NO
EXCEPTIONS!!! I take lab safety
very seriously. I do not want one
of my students or I hurt.
Guidelines:
- Read the procedure before
beginning the experiment. If you
have any questions, please ask before you begin the lab.
- Know where the safety
equipment is located before starting an experiment.
- No food or drink is allowed
in the lab area.
- Never taste or inhale any
substance or chemical in the lab.
- Wear protective equipment
when needed. If goggles and/or an
apron are required for the lab, wear them at all times.
- If a chemical spill occurs,
do not try to clean it up yourself, inform the teacher immediately.
- If your skin is exposed to a
chemical, immediately rinse with water and inform the teacher.
- Report any accident, no
matter how small to the teacher.
- Keep all materials away from
open flames.
- Wear appropriate clothing on
lab days and tie back long hair.
- Stay on task, pay attention
to what you are doing. NO FOOLING
AROUND!!
- Keep the lab area clean and
free of clutter.
End of the lab procedure:
- Dispose of chemicals and
other materials as directed by your teacher.
- Disconnect electrical
devices.
- Clean your work area: wash and
put away all materials, wipe down table.
- Turn off water and gas.
- Wash hands with soap and
water before leaving the lab area.
I
have read and understood the above lab safety guidelines. I will follow the
above guidelines at all times.
