Post a sign on the door to notify others of the lab hazards and emergency contact numbers . Follow All Safety Procedures Always wear chemical splash goggles for eye protection in chemical work, handling and storage areas. When pouring large quantities of chemicals, in addition to goggles, wear a face shield large enough to protect your ears and neck as well as your face. Always wear gloves when handling chemicals. Latex gloves are not compatible with all chemicals.
Nitrile gloves offer better protection.
Never perform any work when alone in the laboratory. At least two people must be present. Undergraduate students must be supervised by an instructor at all times. Always use chemicals with adequate ventilation or in a chemical fume hood. Do not allow the release of toxic substances in cold rooms or warm rooms, since these areas have contained recirculated air.
