Safety Rules

A. Relevant Instruction

Before using a variety of equipment in the laboratory to conduct experiments we should

know the dangers of these ingredients. We must understand correctly the procedures and
regulations in the laboratory. We must not make a mistake in the laboratory, because a few
mistakes can be fatal. So it should be when we are in the laboratory we must really maintain
safety and use equipment in the laboratory according to the procedure and not excessive

Question :
1. What should we do before doing an experiment ?
Answer : We should know the dangers of these ingredients
2. Why we can’t make mistakes while in the laboratory?
Answer : Because a few mistakes can be fatal
3. how should we be in the laboratory
Answer : We must really maintain safety and use equipment in the laboratory according to
the procedure and not excessive

B. Operation

The use of the laboratory must be monitored or monitored thoroughly for the sake of
the joint. You can't change other people - with knowledge about working in a laboratory that is
lacking in experiments in an unattended laboratory. We as practitions when doing experiment
there are several things must be considered. We must ensure to aware of the potential hazard
when operating equipment. It avoid mistakes that will occour. If we make mistakes when
operating equipment, it can cause some problems, such as equipments damage. We don’t allow
to derive their own product experimental. It contains poison, corrosive or toxic subtances which
it can harm body if we wrong use it.

Question :

1. Who is supervised practitions when in the laboratory?

Answer : The practitions are supervised by a competent member of staff when in the
laboratory.
2. Why should we aware of the potential hazard when operating equipment?
Answer : Because if we make mistakes when operating equipment, it can cause equipment
damage.
3. Why are we not allowed to derive our own product experimental?
 Answer : Because product experimental contains toxic subtances which it can harm our
body if we wrong use it.

C. Handling poisons, corrosive or toxic materials

Here’s how to handle poisons, corrosive or toxic materials. Wear apropriate protective
clothing to handling such as poisons, corrosive or toxic subtances if directly contact to the skin.
Wear mask to handle poisouns vapors. When doing experiment, we produce poisouns vapors. If
we breathe it, it can damage respiratory organs such us the lungs. Wear gloves to handle
corrosive materials in our hands. Poisons and very toxic materials must be kept in a locked
cupboard and check regularly. No smoking in laboratory. Prohibited bring and consumsing foods
or drinks in laboratory. If there is spillage, clean it immadiately. Certain liquids essential to the
operation of equipment, for example mercury, are poisonous or can gie poisonous vapors.

Question :

1. What is function of apropriate protective clothing?

Answer : wear apropriate protective clothing is function to handling poisons, corrosive or
toxic subtances if directly contact to the skin.
2. How to handle corrosive materials in our hands ?
Answer : Wear gloves to handle materials in oour hands.
3. Why should we wear mask when to do experiment?
Answer : Because when doing experiment, we produce poisouns vapors. If we breathe it, it
can damage respiratory organs such us the lungs.

D. Eye Protection
Eyes protecting can be done by using goggles. Wear goggles can avoid risk to the eyes,
such as powders, liquids splashes, vapors or splinters. Never look directly at a strong source of
light such as laser. It is can cause cornea damage of the eyes and blindness in the eyes. If our
eyes are contaminated, flush with running water immediately.

Question :

1. How to protect our eyes when in laboratory?

Answer : Protect our eyes when in laboratory wear goggles.
2. What are risks avoid when wear goggles?
Answer : wear goggles can avoid risk to the eyes such as powder, liquids splashes, vapors or
splinters.
3. What happens if we looking laser directly?
Answer : if we looking laser directly, it can be harmful to our eyes, such as cornea damage
and blindness in our eyes.
