Laboratory Safety:
Everyone Is Responsible
Introduction:
• Lab safety awareness and practice is
important to enhance understanding of
specific chemistry concepts. In order to
complete lab assignments students will
be expected to be familiar with lab
equipment, understand the purpose of
the equipment, and know the names
and use of the equipment.
Safety First
• You will be doing many laboratory activities, which
require the use of hazardous chemicals and expensive lab
equipment.
• Safety in the science classroom is the #1 priority.
• To ensure a safe science classroom, a list of rules have
been developed.
• These rules must be followed at all times.
• A signed lab safety contract is required to participate in
labs.

preventing laboratory accidents.
2. Keshia started the lab activity before reading it through

4. Stephanie says that the safety goggles mess up her hair

What To Do In An Emergency?
If there is a fire or fire alarm:
• Quietly get up and push in your chair.
• Walk toward the classroom door and
wait for further instructions.
•As a class we will turn towards the left and
down the stairs.
• Walk to the teacher’s parking lot.
• Quickly line up in alphabetical order by last name.
• Remain in line until the drill is over.
• Remain silent throughout the entire alarm so that all
people can hear important directions.
