LAB SAFETY GENERAL GUIDELINES 1. Conduct yourself in a responsible manner at all times in the laboratory. Never fool around in the laboratory. Horseplay, practical jokes, and pranks are dangerous and prohibited. The consequence of this action will be your removal from the lab and you will be given a zero. 2. When first entering the Way Cool Science lab, do not touch any equipment, chemicals, or other materials in the laboratory area until you are instructed to do so. Follow the directions on the overhead as to what to do with your binder and what supplies you will need. 3. Follow all written and verbal instructions carefully. If you do not understand a direction or part of a procedure, ASK YOUR TEACHER BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH THE ACTIVITY. 4. Perform only those experiments authorized by your teacher. Carefully follow all instructions, both written and oral. Unauthorized experiments are not allowed. 5. Labels and equipment instructions must be read carefully before use. Set up and use the equipment as directed by your teacher. 6. Be alert and proceed with caution at all times in the laboratory. Notify the teacher immediately of any unsafe conditions you observe. 7. Experiments must be personally monitored at all times. Do not wander around the room, distract other students, startle other students or interfere with the laboratory experiments of others. The consequence of this action will be your removal from the lab and you will be given a zero. 8. Keep hands away from face, eyes, mouth, and body while using chemicals or lab equipment. Wash your hands with soap and water after performing all experiments. 9. Any time chemicals, heat, or glassware are used, students will wear safety goggles. NO EXCEPTIONS TO THIS RULE! 10. Dress properly during a laboratory activity. Long hair, dangling jewelry, and loose or baggy clothing are a hazard in the laboratory. Long hair must be tied back, and dangling jewelry and baggy clothing must be secured. Shoes must completely cover the foot. No sandals allowed on lab days. 9. Do not eat food, drink beverages, or chew gum in the laboratory. 10. Observe good housekeeping practices. Work areas should be kept clean and tidy at all times. 11. Dispose of all chemical waste properly. Never mix chemicals in sink drains. Sinks are to be used only for water. Check with Mrs. Fowler for disposal of chemicals and solutions. 12. Know the locations and operating procedures of all safety equipment including: fire extinguisher, the fire alarm, and where the exits are located. 13. Know what to do if there is a fire drill during a lab; containers must be closed, flames extinguished, and any electrical equipment turned off. 14. Report any accident (spill, breakage, etc.) or injury (cut, burn, etc.) to the teacher immediately, no matter how trivial it seems. Immediately yell out Mrs. Fowler! to get my attention. Do not panic. 15. Do NOT handle broken glass with your bare hands. Use a brush and dustpan to clean up broken glass. Place broken glass in the designated glass disposal container ONLY. 16. All chemicals in the laboratory are to be considered dangerous. Do not taste, or smell any chemicals. Never look into a container that is being heated. 17. Check the label on all chemical bottles twice before removing any of the contents. Take only as much chemical as you need, and NEVER return unused chemicals to their original container. 18. Do NOT remove chemicals or other materials from the classroom. I have read and understand the Lab Safety General Guidelines. I understand that if at anytime I do not follow the guidelines I will be asked to leave the classroom and will be given a zero for the lab.
