Question

What potential source of laboratory accident is present in this experiment? Explain the procedure you will follow to minimize this hazard. What two precautions will you follow to prevent injury to yourself, and what will you do to avoid injuring another in the event the accident does occur?

Answer 1

Answer:

Chemical spills and inhalation of dangerous fumes

Explanation:

Some of the potential accidents involve chemical spills. These chemical spills can be hazardous chemicals or acids. These can corrode hands and clothing. In addition, some chemicals, if not properly monitored will enter the eyes or skin. These too, cause injury. The inhaled gases are equally dangerous as well. The only way to deal with the problem is to wear protective clothing such as eye and hand protection. Another was is to conduct experiments in proper fume cupboards for gases.
