What we actually do
 Before we became Chemist most of
Our studies was focused in

LABORATORIES
And in Laboratories there are many…..
“Lab Techniques and
Safety”
 Lab Safety (ACS, 2017)

•Involves the development of

skills and responsibilities that
promote a safe and conducive
laboratory.
 Lab Safety skills focuses on

• Recognize Hazards
• Assess Risk
• Minimize Risk
• Prepare for Emergencies

RECOGNIZE
HAZARDS
“All things are poison. What
makes the difference is the
dose.”

Recognize Hazards (chemical Hazard
symbols)
Recognize Hazards (GHS Symbols)
 • ID of the chemical.

• Provides precise
descriptions of the chemical
and it’s Chemical Properties.

• Provides information about

the chemical substance as
well as a basic tool for
management of the
chemicals.
 • designed to provide both
workers and emergency
personnel with the proper
procedures for handling or
working with a particular
substance.

•Includes information such as

physical data, health effects,
first aid, reactivity, storage,
disposal, protective
equipment and spill/leak
procedures.
 Are Meant For….

 Employees who may be
