LABORATORY 1: LABORATORY EQUIPMENT AND APPARATUS

LABORATORY OBJECTIVES

At the end of the laboratory experiment the learners should be able to:
1. Identify common laboratory equipment and apparatus;
2. Describe the use of common laboratory equipment and apparatus;
3. Know the difference between an equipment and apparatus, and;
4. Describe the proper handling and storage of some laboratory equipment and apparatus.

INTRODUCTION
Working safely with hazardous chemicals requires proper use of laboratory equipment. Maintenance and
regular inspection of laboratory equipment are essential parts of this activity. Many of the accidents that occur
in the laboratory can be attributed to improper use or maintenance of laboratory equipment. This laboratory
activity discusses prudent practices for handling equipment used frequently in laboratories.
The most common equipment-related hazards in laboratories come from devices powered by electricity
devices for work with compressed gases, and devices for high or low pressures and temperatures. Other
physical hazards include electromagnetic radiation from lasers and radio-frequency generating devices.
Seemingly ordinary hazards such as floods from water-cooled equipment, accidents with rotating equipment
and machines or tools for cutting and drilling, noise extremes, slips, trips, falls, lifting, and poor ergonomics
account for the greatest frequency of laboratory accidents and injuries. Understandably, injuries to the hands
are very common in the laboratory. Care should be taken to use appropriate gloves when handling laboratory
equipment to protect against electrical, thermal, and chemical burns, cuts, and punctures.
