Safety 1st!Scientific investigations can be fun, but safety is extremely
important in order to prevent serious accidents from happening to you and to others. Strict rules must be followed in order achieve
lab safety.
![Page 3: Welcome to Mrs. Sergison’s Science Class. Safety 1 st ! Scientific investigations can be fun, but safety is extremely important in order to prevent serious](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649f4f5503460f94c70d58/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Safety EquipmentYou are responsible for knowing where
all of the safety equipment is and how to use it. You must also know the
proper fire drill procedure.
The lab safety equipment includes:
• Fire alarm
• Fire blanket
• Fire extinguisher
• Eye wash station

Fire Alarm
The fire alarm is right outside of the science lab.
Simply pull down the lever.
![Page 5: Welcome to Mrs. Sergison’s Science Class. Safety 1 st ! Scientific investigations can be fun, but safety is extremely important in order to prevent serious](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649f4f5503460f94c70d58/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Fire Blanket Use the fire blanket if clothing
catches fire. The blanket should be spread on the floor so that the person whose clothing or hair is on fire can wrap it around the body while rolling.
Have the person STOP, DROP, and ROLL!
It can also be used to throw over a small fire on the lab table.

Fire Extinguisher
They are used for uncontrollable, large fires that occur.
Most fire extinguishers have a safety pin. Remove the safety pin and squeeze the handle to discharge the extinguisher.
