Good Laboratory Techniques
Be careful when transferring chemicals from one container to another, and always ADD ACIDS to WATER slowly, and do not add water to acids.
Do not operate new or unfamiliar equipment until you are supervised and trained to be authorized to do so.
Read all labels and instructions carefully.
Use the proper Personal Safety Equipment (PSE/PPE) that is provided.
For the safe handling, use and disposal or chemicals or specimens, learn their properties and potential hazards.
Learn emergency procedures in case of accidents or emergencies (fire, spills, injury) and become familiar with the location of fire exits, fire extinguishers, fire blankets and eye wash stations.
