LAB SAFETY RULES CHEAT SHEET

Conduct yourself in a responsible manner at all times in the science room. Horseplay, practical jokes, and pranks will not be tolerated.
Follow all written and verbal instructions carefully. Ask your teacher questions if you do not understand the instructions.
Do not touch any equipment, supplies, or other materials in the science room without permission from the teacher.
Perform only authorized and approved experiments. Do not conduct any experiments when the teacher is out of the room. 5. Never eat, drink, chew gum, or taste anything in the science room.
Keep hands away from face, eyes, and mouth while using science materials or when working with either chemicals or animals. Wash your hands with soap and water before leaving the science room.
Wear safety glasses or goggles when instructed. Never remove safety glasses or goggles during an experiment. There will be no exceptions to this rule! 8. Clean all work areas and equipment at the end of the experiment. Return all equipment clean and in working order to the proper storage area.
Follow your teacher’s instructions to dispose of any waste materials generated in an experiment.
Report any accident (fire, spill, breakage, etc.), injury (cut, burn, etc.), or hazardous condition (broken equipment, etc.) to the teacher immediately.
Consider all chemicals used in the science room to be dangerous. Do not touch or smell any chemicals unless specifically instructed to do so.
Always carry a microscope with both hands. Hold the arm with one hand; place the other hand under the base.
Treat all preserved specimens and dissecting supplies with care and respect. a. Do not remove preserved specimens from the science room. b. Use scalpels, scissors, and other sharp instruments only as instructed. c. Never cut any material towards you— always cut away from your body. d. Report any cut or scratch from sharp instruments to the teacher immediately.
Never open storage cabinets or enter the prep/storage room without permission from the teacher.

Use extreme caution when using a hot plate. Do not leave a hot plate unattended.
Dress properly—long hair must be tied back, no dangling jewelry, and no loose or baggy clothing.
Learn where the safety equipment is located and how to use it. Know where the exits are located and what to do in case of an emergency or fire drill.

When removing an electrical plug from its socket, grasp the plug, not the electrical cord. Hands must be completely dry before touching an electrical switch, plug, or outlet.
Report damaged electrical equipment immediately. Look for things such as frayed cords, exposed wires, and loose connections. Do not use damaged electrical equipment.
Do not immerse hot glassware in cold water; it may shatter.
Never look into a container that is being heated.
Examine glassware before each use. Never use chipped or cracked glassware. Never use dirty glassware
If a chemical splashes in your eye(s) or on your skin, immediately flush with running water from the eyewash station or safety shower for at least 20 minutes. Notify the instructor immediately.
