What are the do's and don't's in safety precautions to be followed in the laboratory?

Answer 1

Always tie long hair back. Always wear safety goggles and other protective clothing. Do not wear open toed shoes. Always waft the chemicals toward you; never put your nose right above the container and sniff it. Never taste the chemicals. Never eat or drink in the lab. Always listen to directions (if they are given such as in a school setting).
