The information below is meant as a friendly safety reminder. It’s not a replacement for proper training, official guidelines, or professional advice.
Stay safe: Don’t try chemical experiments or handle hazardous materials unless you’re in a properly equipped and supervised space.
Keep things separate: Never use spoons, bowls or any personal items that have come into contact with chemicals.
Wear your gear: Always put on the right protective equipment for what you’re doing — gloves, goggles, lab coat, or anything else your task requires.
Store carefully: Keep chemicals in labeled, secure containers, separated by type, and out of reach of anyone not authorized to handle them.
Dispose responsibly: Use proper disposal methods and follow local rules. Don’t pour chemicals down the sink or toss them in the trash.
Be prepared: Know what to do in case of spills or accidents, and make sure you can quickly reach safety staff or emergency services if needed.
Follow the rules: Make sure you’re following all laws, safety codes, and local or institutional policies when buying, using, or disposing of chemicals.
If you’re unsure: Pause and ask for help — a supervisor, safety officer, or someone experienced can point you in the right direction.
