Science Safety

You have been injured in the laboratory (cut, burned, etc.). First you should

• visit the school nurse after class
• see a doctor after school
• tell the teacher at once
• apply first aid yourself

When you finish working with chemicals, biological specimens, and other lab substances, always -

• treat your hands with skin lotion
• wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water
• wipe your hands on a towel
• wipe your hands on your clothes

After completing an experiment, all chemical wastes should be -

• left at your lab station for the next class
• disposed of according to your teacher's directions
• dumped in the sink
• taken home

Always point the open end of a test tube

• toward yourself
• toward your lab partner
• toward another classmate
• away from people

Never touch the eyewash or shower station unless it is a true emergency. 

• True
• False

It's fine to do random experiments with the lab equipment without teacher permission.

• Ummmm... no!
• Sure- it'd be fine!

Part of lab safety includes reading the lab procedure -

• before doing the lab
• while doing the lab
• after doing the lab
• only if you think you really need it
