Detailed explanation-1: -Never touch any chemical with your bare hands. Use appropriate containers to dispense liquids and a spatula for solids. Use rubber gloves to clean up spills or contamination. Keep hands away from your face, especially from eyes and lips.

Detailed explanation-2: -Don’t Taste or Sniff Chemicals For many chemicals, if you can smell them then you are exposing yourself to a dose that can harm you! If the safety information says that a chemical should only be used inside a fume hood, then don’t use it anywhere else. This isn’t cooking class-don’t taste your experiments!

Detailed explanation-3: -Laboratory chemicals should never be tasted. A pipet bulb, aspirator, or mechanical device must be used to pipet chemicals or to start a siphon. To avoid accidental ingestion of hazardous chemicals, pipetting should never be done by mouth.

Detailed explanation-4: -Do not return chemicals to their original packaging. Keep chemical containers closed. Never use a wrong or an unmarked reagent. Never put spatulas, stirrers or other objects into a storage container for chemicals. More items
