SAFETY RULES AND PRECAUTIONS IN LABORATORY :

• Always wear chemical splash goggles for eye protection when


working with chemicals. Safety glasses or goggles will protect your
eyes from physical of chemical harm. Skin will heal after minor
burns or lacerations but your eyes will not. Eyes are fragile and
safety glasses take about three seconds to put on.
• Always wear gloves when handling chemicals, select the gloves
material based on compatibility with the chemicals you may
contact.
• Long pants and shoes completely covering the top of the foot
should be worn at all times when working in the lab.
• Keep the lab organized and clean. Keep all work areas clean and
uncluttered. Wipe down benches with cleaners or disinfectants
regularly.
• Handle needles, syringes and other sharps carefully.
• Inspect the lab weekly for hazardous condition.
• Avoid direct contact with chemicals.
• Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) should be available for all
chemicals in the lab. These sheets provide vital information on the
chemical's properties, hazards, and first-aid measures in case of
exposure.
• Chemical fume hoods should be used to avoid inhalation of vapors
or dust.
• No contact lenses should be worn around hazardous chemicals
even when wearing safety glasses.
• Chemicals should be stored in containers made of materials that
will not react.
• All containers should be labeled with their contents. This is crucial
so those working near you and anyone visiting the lab will know
what hazards may be present. Ideally the hazards present should
be included on any label.

PRECAUTIONS:
• Do not use mouth suction to fill a pipette or siphon, use a pipette
bulb or other suitable device.
• Do not pick up broken glass with your hands.
• Do not wear shoes high heeled sandals or shoes made up of
woven materials. Closed-toe shoes must be worn at all times in
the laboratory.
• Do not work with hazardous chemicals or processes when alone in
the laboratory.
• Do not dispose chemicals down the drain. Most chemicals must
be disposed of as hazardous waste.
• Never eat, drink, smoke. Eating or drinking in the lab can increase
your risk of exposure to hazardous materials
• Do not apply cosmetic in the laboratory. Applying anything to
your face, especially around your mouth or eyes, pose a
significant risk of exposure.
• No cell phone or ear bud usage is allowed in the active portion of
the laboratories or during experimental operations.
• Wash your hands after handling any hazardous material before
leaving the lab.
• Never fool around or distract your neighbours.

TRANSPORT CHEMICAL SAFETY:


• Use secondary materials such as acid buckets or plastic totes .
• Secure containers on carts.
• Wear appropriate ppt.
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES:
• Even with all safety precautions in place, accidents can happen.
Laboratories must be equipped with emergency procedures and
first aid supplies. Key emergency procedures include:
• Spill response: For chemical spills, each lab should have spill kits
and instructions on how to handle the material involved, including
proper disposal methods.
• First Aid: First-aid kits should be readily available in all labs, with
staff trained in basic first-aid procedures, including CPR and
handling chemical burns or cuts.
• Evacuation Plans: Clear evacuation routes and emergency exits
should be designated, and regular drills should be conducted to
ensure all personnel are familiar with these procedures.
