Lab Safety
Lab safety is very important if you are going to work in a science lab. First off, you need the right equipment and you need to read the signs of each machine or are you are working in, so you can see what safety gear you will need to put on. First off, if you are going to work in an area involving fire, you should wear something non-flammable or an apron to protect yourself and your clothes. you should make sure that there is a fire extinguisher near by.
If you nsee a flask symbol on something, that means that there is glass in that area. That is why you should never wear open toed shoes, or if any glass breaks or falls of the table, you have a lower risk of stepping on it and getting it stuck in your foot. When working around chemicals or acids, you should always wear safety goggles. If you happen to get some in your in eyes, it will most likely sting very badly.
You will need to rinse your eyes under some water for about 15 minutes to get all of the chemicals out. If you see a hand symbol on something, that means you should wear heat resistant gloves. You will most likely need to wear them, because you will be touching something with a very hot temperature and you could badly burn yourself. When ever working with an electrical device, never use it near water. First of all, you could badly electricute yourself, and it could also start a fire which could be disasterous.
That is what you need to do to be safe in the lab. You must use all of those required items. If there is an accident, you should get help immediatly.
