Some common sense lab precautions around open flame
- No other flammable liquids in the area, or open containers of flammable liquids anywhere in the room. Vapors may combust or explode. For gas burners, know where the emergency gas cutoff is located.
- All lab clothing should be tightly fitted with no hanging strings or flaps, and preferably treated with fire retardant. Wear eye protection. Protective gloves should be used suitable for the chemicals used.
- You should always have an emergency extinguisher and a water source (hose or 5 gallon bucket of water). You should also have a barrier to shield the burner from other equipment.
- Have trained medical or first aid personnel within a short distance.
- Do not heat any unfamiliar substance, and stop heating if gas, flame, or smoke is generated unexpectedly.
- Do not heat lab containers that are not designed for open flame.
- Do not work alone, and have trained supervisory personnel available.
