Do's and Don'ts in a Chemistry Laboratory
1. Wear white coat, shoes & safety glasses while working in the laboratory.
2. Don't touch any chemical with hands and do not taste any chemical because
some will be corrosive & poisonous.
3. Before using any chemical reagent, check & read the label of the reagent bottle
carefully. After the use, they are to be stoppered well & replaced to their places.
4. Don'tconduct any experiment with insufficient information.
5. Avoid using excessive amount of reagents unless it is needed.
6. Be thorough with the details of experiment & calculations before the start of the

7. Never mix chemicals unless it is being told to do so otherwise it may lead to
serious accidents.
8. While heating substances in a test tube, see that the open end of the test tube
should pointed neither to yourself nor at your neighbour.
9. Don't smell any gas or chemical directly but smell by wafting them gently
