Basic Laboratory Orientation

What should you do when in the laboratory.

1) When you accidentally spill some strong acid onto your skin, you should wash it thoroughly with plenty of water.

2) If there is excess acid from your experiment, you should pour the acid into a special bottle meant for disposal and follow instructions from the teacher.

3) A non-luminous flame should not be left alone as it cannot be seen easily and other people might not see the flame and burn themselves.

4) The best way to light a Bunsen burner is to open the air-hole ignite a lighter near the mouth of the barrel and turn on the gas tap slowly.

5) Adult supervision is required for students to enter the science laboratory as the laboratory can be a dangerous place if the users are not careful.

6) You should not run around in the laboratory as the laboratory is very dangerous as they might be injured.
7) If there is anything broken in the laboratory, the teacher must be informed immediately as others may get hurt.
