Proper Safety With a Laboratory Instrument
Michalis 'BIG Mike' Kotzakolios


Defined Tag:

Safety is of high importance when working in the laboratory. Due to the nature of the items materials that are used in the laboratory, the environment becomes volatile and prone to danger. Following the safety guidelines no matter what laboratory instrument is being used will help maintain the safety of every person that is using the lab.

Always use the proper laboratory instrument when you are handling glassware. Even if the glassware is empty it is still potentially dangerous. Since glass can be easily broken it must be carried properly to prevent a detrimental situation from occurring. If glassware has been heated, it is especially important that it be handled with a laboratory instrument such as a pair of tongs. Serious burns can occur if hot glassware is not handled properly.

Glassware should never be placed at the edge of a table or bench. It is easier to knock the glassware over in these places. Use a laboratory instrument to place glassware in a secure place such as a ring stand so that it will not fall over. Before using glassware you should make sure that there are no cracks in the glass.

Anytime you are doing some kind of experiment that where the glassware needs to be heated, a laboratory instrument must be used. In addition, thick gloves should be worn to protect the hands from burns. Open-toed shoes should not be worn. If there is an incident where the laboratory instrument does not properly contain the glassware closed-toed shoes will protect your feet from potential cuts and burns.

Always use the correct instrument when you are handing glassware or any other item inside the laboratory. These instruments were designed for use in the laboratory. Ensuring your safety and the safety of others while in the laboratory includes using the proper instruments no matter how many times you have worked in the lab before.
