Lab Safety Rules (Key Ideas)

• I will act responsibly at all times while completing labs. I understand that horseplay, jokes, and pranks are not appropriate while completing these experiments.

• I will not touch any equipment or supplies I have been provided until instructed to do so by the teacher.

• I will perform only those activities that have been authorized by the teacher. I will never do anything that is not called for by the procedure.

• If my teacher asks me to get parent permission or adult supervision before doing a lab, I will ask before doing the lab.

• I will make sure my lab area is clean and neat.

• I will tie back long hair, baggy clothing and dangling jewelry while doing a lab activity.

• I know whom to contact for help in case of an emergency.

• I will never eat, drink, or chew gum while completing the lab.
