Chemistry 9-24-24 Lab Safety & Procedures & Safety Contract

CHEMISTRY: Wow! Great video, but do you feel like you have information overload!?

Here is the lab safety video we watched in class. It does have a ton of info, and the thing is, you absolutely must know it – and not just for the test, but also throughout the year in lab. After you’ve watched it once, go back and watch it again and take notes as you go.

Below the lab safety video is the lab tour that show where all the lab safety control equipment is located and the use of each.. Make sure you know the name, location, and use of each.

Lab Safety ContractSince we’ll be in lab so much, it’s important that you write your own lab safety contract. Here’s how you do it::

  • From the first couple of pages of the Safety Packet that you got in class (or it’s also here under the Lab tab), hand write the lab safety statements as your contract.
  • They must be handwritten on notebook paper. For the heading: Lab Safety Contract. Write your name, date and period in the top right hand corner.
  • You only have to write the first part of the rule that is bold. There are 29 in all and they almost all start with “I will…”.
  • At the end of your contract – after the last statement, hand write the following statement at the bottom: “I agree to abide by these rules.” Then sign underneath and date it.
  • Scan your final signed document as a PDF and submit it into your Chemistry Shared Folder. The assignment name is Lab Safety Contract. Make sure it is a clean, white paper, clear scan! Other scans will not be accepted.
  • IMPORTANT: You must have this safety contract submitted to be able to participate in lab for the rest of the year! Check the syllabus for the due date!!
