Think Safety First Worksheet Directions: Work with a partner and take tums identifying what is the potential accident? and "What is the prevention action that should be taken?” Use this worksheet to record each 'sperson’s response during the “Think Safety First” game. 1. You are using a microscope to view a wet mount of skin cells. Accident: Prevention: 3. Your lab station is messy, covered with papers and supplies. You need to heat water on a Bunsen burner. Accident: Prevention: 5, While measuring chemicals for a solution, you accidentally spill a large amount. Accident: Prevention: 7. You are using a Bunsen burner to heat a chemical. You need your notebook, which is on the other side of the flame. Accident: Prevention: 2. You wash your hands, and don’t dry them. You pick up a beaker to carry it to your lab station. Accident: Prevention: 4. The class before you left a beaker sitting on a hot plate at you lab station. The hot plate is off. Accident: Prevention: 6. You need to measure the mass of a large, heavy rock. You decide to use a spring scale. Accident: Prevention: 8. You discover that the test tube you are using has a crack in it. Accident: Prevention:Dress the Part in the Laboratory Asscientist works in a Laboratories are where scientists run most of their and make most of their observations, measurements and discoveries. Your idea of a laboratory is probably a large room equipped with Bunsen bumers, sinks, glassware, balances and chemicals and occupied by people in white coats and safety glasses. This is the type of laboratory that chemists tend to work in and the type of laboratory that you will eventually work in at school. There are several pieces of clothing that have been developed specifically for use in the science laboratory. These pieces of clothing are referred to as (PPE) You have probably already used protective goggles, a lab apron, and protective gloves while working in the classroom science lab. In this activity you will identify different pieces of protective equipment, and think of situations in which you should use them. Directions: Below are three pictures of protective equipment for the science lab. First, write the name of each item, then write a scenario in which you would need that protection. Y Name: Name When to Wear; When to Wear: Name; Name When to Wear, When to WearSAFETY EQUIPMENT Every laboratory has a number of items “built in" to the facility for use in case of an accident or simply to ensure the safest laboratory operation possible. Itis important to and of each of these items, Ifyou think you might need to use any of the equipment in this table for an emergency, don’t hesitate. Call out to inform others of the situation and immediately use the equipment as instructed You DO NOT HAVE TO ASK TO USE EMERGENCY SAFETY EQUIPMENT!

Procedure Drawan outline map of your science laboratory, including every item from the table above Itis important to know the location of the fire extinguisher, fume hood, broken glass container, broom and dustpan, fire blanket, first-aid kit, eye wash station, safety shower, goggles and aprons. Have a look around your classroom: Can you see/identify where this equipment is located? In the space below draw a map of the classroom and label where the equipment listed above is, located Back of Room Front of Room What is the evacuation route from your classroom in the ent of an emergency?WORKING WITH CHEMICALS: WHMIS What does WHMIS stand for? W. H. M I Ss. (WHMIS) is the Canadian system for communicating information about the safety requirements for working with chemicals. What is WHMIS? Itis a system for providing health and safety information on hazardous products intended for or in workplaces (including schools).

In the first column of the chart, identify seven unsafe situations. In the second column, describe an injury that might occur as a result of each situation. Unsafe situation Possible injurySafety do’s and don'ts Each of the following situations could happen in a nce classroom, Describe the unsafe practices and explain what should be done. 1. You mix two chemicals and notice that a bright yellow gas is produced. You were told to make some observations, so you hold the beaker up close to your face so you can see the gas and smell the fumes. Unsafe practice: Correct thing to do: 2. Your partner's shirt catches on fire while using the Bunsen bumer. You tell your partner to stay still while you run to get a cup of water from the sink to put out the fire. Unsafe practice: Correct thing to do: 3. After finishing a lab, you have some chemicals left over. You do not want to waste them, so you carefully pour them back into the container you got them from. Unsafe practice: Correct thing to do: 4, You accidentally spill some water on the classroom floor. You leave it because it is only water and it will quickly evaporate. Unsafe practice: Correct thing to do’ 5. You were talking with your partner and did not hear the teacher's instructions on how to do the lab. You figure that it will be okay if you and your partner copy what everybody else is doing. Unsafe practice: Correct thing to do: 6. You need to use some copper (\l) sulfate, which is a blue liquid. You go to the shelf and find a flask with blue liquid in it and use that. There is no label on the flask, but it is the only one with a blue liquid in it. Unsafe practice: Correct thing to do:What is WHMIS? In the second column, write the name of each WHMIS symbol. Then choose the correct meaning of the symbol from the list below.
