What Should You Know About Conducting Experiments with Heat and Flammable Materials?

Safety First!

  1. Basic Safety Rules

    • Always wear safety goggles and gloves to protect yourself.
    • Make sure the area is well-ventilated, which means there is enough fresh air.

  2. Using Heat Sources

    • Be very careful when using Bunsen burners. They can get super hot, over 1,500 degrees Celsius!
    • Keep anything that can catch fire at least 30 centimeters away from heat sources.

  3. Storing Materials Safely

    • Store flammable liquids in containers that are designed for that purpose.
    • Keep flammable materials in special fire-proof cabinets to keep them safe.

  4. Accident Numbers

    • Laboratory accidents make up about 10% of all school incidents.
    • More than 25% of laboratory fires happen because of flammable chemicals.
