Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Broken glassware should immediately be cleaned up. A laboratory should already have a small brush and dust pan available to clean up after small accidents. Forceps or duct tape can be used to pick up the smaller pieces of broken glass.

Detailed explanation-2: -Encourage bleeding of the wound; but do not directly massage or attempt other forceful means to remove any remaining broken glass from the wound. Wash the wound thoroughly with warm water and soap if available. Use cold water if warm water is not available. Seek medical attention as appropriate.

Detailed explanation-3: -When it is time to dispose of the broken glass container, carefully seal the bag within the box with tape. Close the box and tape all the seams together. Remove the broken glass containers from the laboratory or space and place them in the solid waste dumpsters, usually located in the loading docks.

Detailed explanation-4: -Broken glass disposal containers are designated for the disposal of non-contaminated broken glass. The use of BROKEN GLASS DISPOSAL containers to dispose of non-contaminated broken glass helps to segregate contaminated and non-contaminated broken glass.
