4. 1. Goggles- Should always be worn when using chemicals. They will protect your eyes from splatters or spills.

5. 2. No Eating or Drinking- You run the risk of ingesting (eating/drinking) poisons. Also make sure your hands are clean when you finish doing a lab.

6. 3. Chemical Contact: Make sure you wear gloves if your teacher tells you to. If a dangerous chemical touches your skin it needs to be cleaned off FAST!!!
