Whenever you enter a Science Lab, it is important that you also follow any

Instructions given by a teacher, and the Science Safety Rules.

These are; Do not run in the science lab. Always have your hair tied back. Do not eat in the Science lab. Do not touch anything that you

shouldn’t Ask your teacher for permission

before starting an experiment. If something is spilt or broken tell

your teacher immediately.

Wash your hands after you use chemicals, and before eating.

NEVER put your nose directly under something to smell, always waft.

NEVER put solids down the sink. Keep your note books, and paper

away from heating equipment. Whenever using chemicals/liquids

in the science lab always wear eye goggles

Do not look directly on top of a beaker, test tube or flask.

Wear a lab coat whenever using chemicals, to prevent it getting on skin and clothing.

Why should you be safe? You should be safe because: If you don’t follow safety rules you could put yourself in serious danger for eg. If you lean over the bench with your hair out it might catch on fire. Don’t run in the science lab because you might knock over a glass full of liquid an it might spill and cause some damages. Don’t eat in the science lab as you may leave your food unattended and chemicals may fatally react to your body.
