Basic Laboratory Safety
Safety in the Laboratory is very
important.
Many serious accidents have occured in the laboratory
due to carelessness or ignorance. These accidents
are no laughing matter! People have died
from inhaling poisonous gases and
from explosions and fire! One
of the most important things
you can do to avoid
accidents in the lab
is to simply
Know the
Safety
Rules
In
this Level
you will be tested
on some common safety
rules- they are rules that you
should know if you've ever taken
a science or chemistry course that involves
going into the school laboratory. If you don't
know these rules or you have forgotten most of
them you can always look them up in our research lab.
