Safety

 

Never return unused reagents to their containers. Excess reagents should be placed in the appropriate waste containers.

All spills should be cleaned up immediately. Report all spills, no matter how small, to your instructor or the stockroom personnel. They will guide you in the proper course of action.

Chemicals on the Skin- If the affected area is small, flush the skin for about 15 minutes with large amounts of water. If the face has been affected, leave the goggles on and rinse the face for about 15 minutes with large amounts of water in an eyewash fountain or sink. Then remove the goggles and rinse the area where the goggles contacted the face. If large portions of the skin have come in contact with the chemicals, use the safety shower.

Chemicals on Clothing - Remove contaminated clothing and drench the skin underneath the clothing for approximately 15 minutes with water. For large spills, immediately use the safety shower.
