The document discusses important lab safety practices. Students should wear closed-toe shoes, long pants, an apron, and safety goggles when conducting experiments. Safe lab practices include properly disposing of waste, not eating or playing with chemicals, and always wearing gloves when handling substances. In the event of an accident, people should be alerted and protective equipment worn while containing and neutralizing spills before evacuating. At the end of the lab period, students should clean work areas and properly dispose of waste.
