![Page 35: LABORATORY SAFETY](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081517/568166cb550346895ddad71e/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Handling Chemicals
Acids must be handled with extreme care. You will be shown the proper method for diluting strong acids. Always add acid to water, swirl or stir the solution and be careful of the heat produced, particularly with sulfuric acid.
![Page 36: LABORATORY SAFETY](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081517/568166cb550346895ddad71e/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

Handling Glassware & Equipment Carry glass tubing, especially long
pieces, in a vertical position to minimize the likelihood of breakage and injury.
![Page 40: LABORATORY SAFETY](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081517/568166cb550346895ddad71e/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Handling Glassware & Equipment Never handle broken glass with your
bare hands. Use a brush and dustpan to clean up broken glass. Place broken or waste glassware in the designated glass disposal container.
![Page 41: LABORATORY SAFETY](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081517/568166cb550346895ddad71e/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Handling Glassware & Equipment Inserting and removing glass tubing from
rubber stoppers can be dangerous. Always lubricate glassware (tubing, thistle tubes, thermometers, etc.) before attempting to insert it in a stopper. Always protect your hands with towels or cotton gloves when inserting glass tubing into, or removing it from, a rubber stopper. If a piece of glassware becomes “frozen” in a stopper, take it to your instructor for removal.
![Page 42: LABORATORY SAFETY](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081517/568166cb550346895ddad71e/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Handling Glassware & Equipment Fill wash bottles only with distilled
water and use only as intended, e.g., rinsing glassware and equipment, or adding water to a container.
![Page 43: LABORATORY SAFETY](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081517/568166cb550346895ddad71e/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Handling Glassware & Equipment When removing an electrical plug
from its socket, grasp the plug, not the electrical cord. Hands must be completely dry before touching an electrical switch, plug, or outlet.
![Page 44: LABORATORY SAFETY](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081517/568166cb550346895ddad71e/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Handling Glassware & Equipment Examine glassware before each use.
Never use chipped or cracked glassware. Never use dirty glassware.
![Page 45: LABORATORY SAFETY](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081517/568166cb550346895ddad71e/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Handling Glassware & Equipment Report damaged electrical
equipment immediately. Look for things such as frayed cords, exposed wires, and loose connections. Do not use damaged electrical equipment.
![Page 46: LABORATORY SAFETY](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081517/568166cb550346895ddad71e/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Handling Glassware & Equipment If you do not understand how to use
a piece of equipment, ask the instructor for help.
![Page 47: LABORATORY SAFETY](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081517/568166cb550346895ddad71e/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)

cold water; it may shatter.
![Page 48: LABORATORY SAFETY](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081517/568166cb550346895ddad71e/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Heating Substances
Exercise extreme caution when using a gas burner. Take care that hair, clothing and hands are a safe distance from the flame at all times. Do not put any substance into the flame unless specifically instructed to do so. Never reach over an exposed flame. Light gas (or alcohol) burners only as instructed by the teacher.
![Page 49: LABORATORY SAFETY](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081517/568166cb550346895ddad71e/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Heating Substances
Never leave a lit burner unattended. Never leave anything that is being heated or is visibly reacting unattended. Always turn the burner or hot plate off when not in use.
![Page 50: LABORATORY SAFETY](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081517/568166cb550346895ddad71e/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Heating Substances
You will be instructed in the proper method of heating and boiling liquids in test tubes. Do not point the open end of a test tube being heated at yourself or anyone else.
![Page 51: LABORATORY SAFETY](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081517/568166cb550346895ddad71e/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Heating Substances
Heated metals and glass remain very hot for a long time. They should be set aside to cool and picked up with caution. Use tongs or heat-protective gloves if necessary.
![Page 52: LABORATORY SAFETY](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081517/568166cb550346895ddad71e/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Heating Substances
Never look into a container that is being heated.
![Page 53: LABORATORY SAFETY](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081517/568166cb550346895ddad71e/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Heating Substances
Do not place hot apparatus directly on the laboratory desk. Always use an insulating pad. Allow plenty of time for hot apparatus to cool before touching it.
![Page 54: LABORATORY SAFETY](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081517/568166cb550346895ddad71e/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Heating Substances
When bending glass, allow time for the glass to cool before further handling. Hot and cold glass have the same visual appearance. Determine if an object is hot by bringing the back of your hand close to it prior to grasping it.
![Page 55: LABORATORY SAFETY](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081517/568166cb550346895ddad71e/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
