    Safety Rules

    1. Wear googles over your eyes whenever any student in the room is doing laboratory work. You need
    googles even if you wear glasses.
    2. Observe all teachers’ instructions and all precautions stated in your lab book or lab sheet.
    3. DO NOT handle apparatus or chemicals until you receive instructions.
    4. Unauthorized experiments are strictly forbidden.
    5. Be sure to follow directions given to you for lighting a Bunsen burner. Should the burner strike
    back, turn the gas off at the valve. DO NOT touch the burner.
    6. DO NOT stand too close to any apparatus in which material is being heated or in which
    reactions are being carried out.
    7. When heating a liquid in a test tube, incline the test tube and point its mouth away from
    yourself and your neighbor. It is safest to do it under the hood.
    8. Keep flammable liquids such as alcohol, benzene, and gasoline away from flames. NEVER pour
    such liquids into the sink. Use the covered receptacle on the teacher's desk.
    9. Be careful to read the reagent bottles' labels to make sure that you are using the correct chemicals.
    The excess reagent should NEVER be returned to the original stock bottle.
    10. Be careful when pouring acid or basic solutions. Pour these only over a sink. Stoppers should not
    be allowed to rest on tabletops. Add acid to water dropwise with constant stirring.
    11. If any acid or base comes in contact with your skin or clothes, flood it with water immediately.
    Report it to your teacher immediately after that.
    12. DO NOT inhale poisonous gases such as bromine, hydrogen sulfide, etc. Work with these gases as
    far back in the hood as possible. When it is necessary to smell the gas, the teacher will demonstrate
    a safe method.
    13. NEVER push glass tubing, or a thistle tube, thermometer, etc. through a hole in a rubber stopper or
    cork. Be sure to use water or glycerol and then hold the glass close to the stopper and TWIST it on.
    14. Report all accidents to the teacher immediately.
    15. Work quietly. Accidents are less likely to happen in orderly labs.
    16. Handle water faucets only when needed for procedure or cleanup.
    17. Lab coats or aprons are required.
    18. Throw all solids, paper, matches, etc. into the waste can ‐ NOT INTO THE SINK!
