It is important to have lab safety when you are working by yourself, in a group, and around other people. Wearing protection gear is very important when necessary. When dealing with something hot always be sure to wear gloves and when using a chemical that can hurt your eyes goggles should be worn at all time when you are in the lab. Also when using a chemical or anything that can leave stains be sure to wear an apron or something that protects your clothes. Some chemicals are very dangerous to the body, therefore when using them always do the right thing and never taste, touch, or smell the chemical unless the teacher instructs you to. Always be sure you know what chemical you are using and if you need to wear any protection to be safe and not get physically hurt. Also, when using a chemical always be aware of your surroundings. Being aware of your surroundings means that you know were everything is in case of fire or accident. You also need to know were other groups are so you do not have an accident and hurt another person and be respectful of their space and their chemicals also. Always listen to the teacher and if you have a question about a chemical or what to do always ask the teacher or a classmate that knows what he/she is supposed to be doing. All of these things are important to remember when in the lab working.

I agree. You made a good point saying to make sure you know what chemical you use and to always wear goggles. Good Job!!
I agree with you dax wearing the right protection is very important and can be the difference between life and death
I agree that u need to have goggles for your eyes. If you pour a substance into another substance your putting yourself in risk of blinding your eyes and no one wants that.
I completely agree with you there. I believe its is very important to know what the chemical your working with is and also how to handle it. Without this imformation ytu could indanger yourself and your class mates.
I also agree with you Dax. I think listening to the teacher is incredibly important, because if you don’t, then you might drink some poisonous chemical by mistake.
Your information is very reliable and could prevent someone from getting hurt in an important science lab experiment. I believe it is very important for students to know about lab safety and what to do in emergencies. Great Job!
I agree with your summary. It is very important to wear safety gear when dealing with chemicals or hot things because it wouldn’t very good if you caught on fire or chemically burned your skin. Not knowing about lab safety could definitely THE most important thing about going into a lab!!
Nice post this would help me out a lot if I didn’t know about lab safety
