BASIC SAFETY RULES IN THE LABORATORY OF
ORGANIC CHEMISTRY. FIRST AID DURING
ACCIDENTS

Successful and safe execution of laboratory work is possible
subject to compliance with the basic safety requirements when
working in a chemical laboratory. General rules:the laboratory is
strictly forbidden:
a) to take food, drink water from a chemical dish;
b) taste the chemical reagents, allow their contact with the
skin;
c) to leave open harmful chemical reagents and to store
substance in the table without the appropriate inscription;
d) take to work reagents of unknown origin, carry out
syntheses in contaminated dishes;
e) lean over the dish in which the fluid is boiling;
f) pour into the shell concentrated solutions of acids and
alkalis, as well as organic solvents, strongly odorous and
flammable substances, to dispose of the remnants of metallic
sodium;
g) tighten the organic matter and their solutions in the
pipette. The laboratory needs to keep silence, maintain purity,
order and observe all safety rules when performing work. It is
forbidden to engage in a laboratory by a third party work.
Inaccuracies, inattentiveness and haste often lead to accidents with
grave consequences. Each student should know where the fire
safety and first aid kit are located in the laboratory, be able to use
them and provide first aid in case of accidents.
Syntheses should be carried out in clean dishes. After
completing the demonstration experiments engineer, students
should leave the laboratory dishes clean.
You can determine the smell of substances only if necessary
and with the permission of the teacher, while carefully gently
