    SAFETY RULES AND GOOD LABORATORY PRACTICES

    True or False (2 pts each)

    False 1. Contact lenses are permitted in the chemistry laboratory


    True
    2. It is a good laboratory protocol to call the attention of other students when they
    are not practicing good laboratory safety procedures.
    False 3. An accident as simple as breaking a beaker containing distilled water in the
    sink does not need to be reported to the laboratory instructor.
    True 4. A beaker containing an acidic solution has broken on the tabletop and spilled
    onto your clothes from your waist down and it burns! You should immediately
    proceed to the safety shower and flood the affected area.
    False 5. Your friend is a senior chemistry major and thoroughly understands the difficult
    experiments that you are performing. Therefore, you can invite him/her into the
    laboratory for direct assistance.
    False 6. Prescription glasses can take the place of safety goggles in the laboratory.

    7. Cell phones, iPads, and other electronic equipment should be turned off during
    the laboratory period.
    False 8. You missed lunch but brought a sandwich to the laboratory. Since you cannot
    eat in the lab, it is alright to leave the sandwich in the hallway and then go in and
    out to take bites while the experiment is ongoing.
    True 9. All chemicals must be properly disposed either according to the Experimental
    Procedure or the laboratory instructor.
    True 10. Glassware is clean when no water droplets cling to the inner wall of the vessel.

    Write a brief answer for the following questions (5 pts each)


    1. A chemical spill has occurred. What steps should be taken in treating the chemical
    spill?

    If someone has been splashed with chemicals, flush the affected area with water for
    at least 15 minutes. Call for help and alert the laboratory instructor or any supervisor.
    Assess and identify the spill, make sure to let everyone stay out of the affected area.
    Remain calm and determine the right course of action in controlling the spill and
    execute it. Stop the main source of the spill and contain it. Clean-up the spill and
    dispose the chemical and materials used properly. Finally, decontaminate the affected
    area if needed.

    2. Describe how you will be dressed when you are about to begin an experiment in the
    laboratory.

    I will wear a pair of approved safety goggles, lab gloves, a shirt that covers the
    stomach and lower back as well as the upper arms, long pants that covers the bottom
    half of the body, a lab coat, and shoes that completely cover my feet.
