Chapter 1 Safety Measures in Lab

The document discusses safety measures in the laboratory, including the use of self-protective equipment, proper disposal of waste materials, and types of fire extinguishers and how to use them. Proper waste disposal involves placing certain materials in the sink within a certain pH range, while other hazardous materials like chemicals, glass, and biological waste require special disposal methods. The document also outlines the different classes of fires and appropriate fire extinguishers to use based on the type of fire.
