I've learned this subject last sem,, and i got A for this subject,,not really hard and tough, but quite okay..i really like this subject because i've to practice in my life especially during entering lab,,every sem i've to do lab,,cannot escape anymore, so we must set in our mind lab safety is our first priority when entering lab chemistry,,if not you will be like this,,hehe..
Now, i want to make a list what should we do and shouldn't when entering the lab
- Safety goggles must be worn at all times while in the lab.
- Contact lenses are not allowed. Even when worn under safety goggles various fumes may accumulate under the lens and cause serious injuries or blindness.
- Closed toe shoes and long pants must be worn in the lab. Sandals and shoes are not allowed
- Long hair must be tied back when using open flames.
- Lab coats should be worn at all times
- Eating, drinking and smoking are strictly prohibited in the lab
- No unauthorized experiments are to be performed, if you are curious about trying a procedure not covered in the experimental procedure,consult with your lab instructor.
- Never taste anything . Never directly smell the source of any vapour or gas instead by means of your cupped hand ,waft a small sample to your nose . Do not inhale these vapours but take in only enough to detect an odour if one exists.
- Bags should not be left on the lab benches and stools.
- Always wash your hands before leave the lab(hand sanitizer plissssss ;p)
- Know where the safety and first aid equipment is located. This isncludes fire extinguisher, eye with stations, shower and others.
- Notify the instructor immediately in case of accident.
actually there's a lot i want to make list of lab safety,,like how to hold test tube,,wear hand glove,,be well mannered during lab,,know the differences concentration of chemical,,how to read NFPA,,a lot of thingy ..hehe..as my lecturer said when we want to enter lab,,put aside all make up stuff,,foundation or eyeliner or whatsover,,heels ke,unless we are bisnes student or accountant,,then you can wear a glam attire,, earrings,,necklace,,aiyaa..=p,,if u you are lab student," beautifu"l is not necessary,,haha,,the most important is our lab report is perfect,,walaweyh,,
To recapitulate,,follow the rules when entering the lab..remember it can become a hazardous place when we do not abide by the rules that have been prepared.;)
