It covers personal preparation, such as wearing mandatory lab coats and tying up long hair, as well as using necessary safety equipment like glasses and gloves. The script emphasizes the importance of understanding chemical hazard symbols and maintaining a tidy workspace. It stresses careful handling of chemicals, proper waste disposal, and cleaning practices. By following these steps, students can ensure a safe and effective lab experience, minimizing risks and maintaining a secure environment for all participants.

Takeaways

• 😀 Always hang your coats, bags, and school bags at the back of the class upon entering the chemistry lab.
• 😀 Make sure to bring only the necessary items like your binder and calculator. Avoid bringing unnecessary bags.
• 😀 Wearing a lab coat is mandatory. It must be fastened properly to avoid stains from chemicals or damage to your clothes.
• 😀 Long hair should be tied up, so always carry an elastic in your pencil case.
• 😀 Protective glasses will be provided by the teacher when required for chemical risks.
• 😀 Wear gloves when handling chemicals. The teacher will provide gloves and ensure they are the correct size for you.
• 😀 Listen to the teacher's instructions before starting any experiments to ensure safety.
• 😀 Be aware of chemical hazard pictograms on product bottles, which indicate the dangers associated with the chemicals.
• 😀 Keep your work area tidy. Make sure stools are stored under tables, and avoid clutter near the edge of the workbench.
• 😀 Never ingest or inhale chemicals. Do not eat or drink in the chemistry lab to prevent contamination.
• 😀 Always use small quantities of chemicals to minimize waste and prevent spills. Close containers after use and follow disposal instructions.
• 😀 Clean your work area at the end of the session. Make sure to dry your equipment properly and dispose of waste as instructed by the teacher.

Q & A

What should students do when they arrive in the chemistry laboratory?

Students should hang their coats, bags, and satchels on the coat hooks at the back of the classroom. Then, they should take the necessary materials, such as their binder and calculator, and ensure their bags are not brought to the workstations.

Is it mandatory to wear a lab coat in the chemistry laboratory?

Yes, wearing a lab coat is mandatory. It must be properly closed to protect against potential chemical spills or damage. Without it, students risk damaging their clothing or getting stains from chemicals.

What should students do if they have long hair in the laboratory?

Students with long hair should tie it up before starting any experiments. It is advised to always carry an elastic band in their kit for this purpose.

What protective gear is required when handling chemicals in the lab?

Students must wear safety goggles, gloves (if necessary), and a lab coat when working with chemicals. The professor will provide the goggles if needed, and gloves should be changed if damaged.

What should be done if gloves tear during an experiment?

If the gloves tear during an experiment, they should be replaced immediately. The professor will provide different sizes of gloves to ensure proper fit.

How should students organize their workspace in the laboratory?

Students should arrange their stools under the tables and work standing. They must also separate the reaction zone from the manipulation zone to avoid accidents, and avoid leaving items near the edge of the lab benches to prevent them from falling.

What safety precautions should students take to avoid chemical exposure?

Students should avoid ingesting, inhaling, or coming into contact with chemicals. Eating, drinking, or any activity that could lead to contamination should not be done during the session.

How should students handle chemicals during experiments?

Students should only use small quantities of chemicals to prevent waste. They should always close the chemical bottles after use and never return unused chemicals back to the bottle.

What should students do with used chemicals after an experiment?

After use, students should follow the professor's instructions for disposing of chemicals. If the chemicals are non-hazardous, they may be disposed of properly. If the chemicals are dangerous, they should be placed in designated containers for disposal.

What should students do after the laboratory session is finished?

After the session, students should clean their workspace, dry the equipment, and return all materials. The professor will instruct whether to leave items on the workbench, store them on a cart, or place them in a designated container.
