SAFETY

1. Before doing the experiment, we must grasp the purpose of the experiment and the mechanism of the reaction, fully predict the possible harm of the experiment, and do the corresponding countermeasures.

2. We must read the Chemical Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) carefully, paying particular attention to ingredient information, storage methods, personal protection and first aid measures.

3. Operate in strict accordance with the experimental procedures. During the continuous experiment, keep an eye on the experimental dynamics and do not leave the laboratory for a long time.

4. When carrying out the experiment, be sure to wear appropriate protective clothing, wear appropriate protective masks and goggles as needed to protect yourself.

5. If you need to use volatile reagents, or chemicals that produce toxic and noxious substances, you must operate in a fume hood.

6. Do not bring non-experimental personnel into the laboratory, do not eat in the laboratory, do not stay overnight. Keep the laboratory chemicals in an orderly and classified manner, and return them in time to avoid bringing chemicals out of the laboratory.

7. Clean unlabeled samples in time to eliminate safety hazards.

8. All chemicals and formulated reagents should be placed in appropriate containers for clear marking.

9. Carefully store and store glassware, and do not use broken glassware.

10. Keep the laboratory environment clean and the fire exits clear.

11. Power outlets (including air conditioners, etc.) use dedicated outlets (wiring boards are not available). The electrical load meets the requirements; when it is not used for a long time, the power should be cut off.

12. If you find a safety hazard, stop the experiment immediately and take timely measures. Report the situation to the person in charge of the laboratory safety.

13. When leaving the laboratory temporarily, the door should be locked.

14. Classify the waste in the laboratory and regularly send them to the designated waste disposal office of the school for disposal.

15. After the experiment is over, it should be cleaned up in time to wash your hands. Leave the lab, change the overalls in time, and turn off water, electricity, gas, doors and windows.
