Protect Your Eyes http://www.sterlingschools.org/shs/stf/cbrown/Chemistry%20Laboratory%20Safety
%20Rules.ppt
• Appropriate eye protection must be worn at all times!
![Page 3: Chemistry Laboratory Safety Rules By Dr Abdul Samad](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56649ed25503460f94be2578/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Wear appropriate protective clothing
• Your clothing should cover your legs to the knees – shorts are not appropriate for the laboratory
• Lab aprons can be used to protect good clothing
• Loose clothing should not be worn because it may dip into chemicals or fall into a flame and catch fire
![Page 4: Chemistry Laboratory Safety Rules By Dr Abdul Samad](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56649ed25503460f94be2578/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Wear shoes that cover your feet.
• Sandals and open-toed shoes do not protect your feet from broken glass that is frequently found in the lab
• Also, leather shoes protect your feet from chemical spills – canvas shoes do not.

Do not apply cosmetics, eat, or drink in the lab.
• These activities are ways by which you can accidentally ingest harmful chemicals

“Do not spit into acid!” – a good phrase to remember this rule.

Check glassware for stars or cracks.
![Page 12: Chemistry Laboratory Safety Rules By Dr Abdul Samad](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56649ed25503460f94be2578/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Heat test tubes at an angle, directing the opening oppositely to you and other people in the laboratory.
![Page 13: Chemistry Laboratory Safety Rules By Dr Abdul Samad](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56649ed25503460f94be2578/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Handle hot glassware with gloves or beaker tongs.
![Page 14: Chemistry Laboratory Safety Rules By Dr Abdul Samad](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56649ed25503460f94be2578/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
First light the match
THEN
Turn on the gas!
![Page 15: Chemistry Laboratory Safety Rules By Dr Abdul Samad](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56649ed25503460f94be2578/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Do not smell any chemicals directly!
• If absoluteley necessary to smell, use your hand to fan the vapor to your nose.
![Page 16: Chemistry Laboratory Safety Rules By Dr Abdul Samad](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56649ed25503460f94be2578/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Do not pipet solutions by mouth!
• Use a rubber suction bulb or other device to fill a pipet.

Wash your hands with soap and water before leaving.
• This rule applies even if you have been wearing gloves!
![Page 18: Chemistry Laboratory Safety Rules By Dr Abdul Samad](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56649ed25503460f94be2578/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Know the hazards of the materials being used.
• Read and reread labels carefully to make sure that you are using the right chemical.
• Know how to interpret data from a MSDS.

Tie Back Loose Hair
• Dangling hair can fall into the Bunsen burner and catch fire or can fall into a chemical solution
• P.S. Burning hair REALLY STINKS!

Don’t work alone in the lab
• In case of a problem, you may need another person to prevent injury or even save your life!
![Page 25: Chemistry Laboratory Safety Rules By Dr Abdul Samad](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56649ed25503460f94be2578/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

First AidFirst Aid
Injury: BurnsWhat To Do: Immediately flush with
cold water until burning sensation is lessened.
![Page 33: Chemistry Laboratory Safety Rules By Dr Abdul Samad](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56649ed25503460f94be2578/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
First AidFirst Aid
Injury: Cuts, bruisesWhat To Do: Do not touch an open wound
without safety gloves. Pressing directly on
minor cuts will stop bleeding in a few minutes. Apply cold compress to bruises to
reduce swelling.

First Aid
Injury: Fainting
To Do: Provide fresh air and have the person recline so that their head is lower than the rest of their body.

Injury: EyesWhat To Do: Flush eyes
immediately with plenty of water for several minutes. If a
foreign object is lodged in the eye, do not allow the
eye to be rubbed.
