Take the following safety measure.
• Tie back loose hair, roll back and secure sleeves and wear shoes.
• Don’t wear baggy cloths, jewelry, scarves and earphones.
• Wear safety glasses.
• Keep the work area clean and tidy.
• Begin after only the instructor said to do.
• Work quietly and carefully.
• Never eat or drink in the lab.
• Wash your hands after finishing the excrement.
• Never taste or sniff chemicals.
• Never ever pipette by mouth.

Hi @gigemags, this question took me back to my days in school. There are several rules and regulation that must be followed while conducting an experiment in the chemistry lab. These rules are meant for the safety of the students and every other person in the lab and should be adhered to these are some of the safety precautions that one should take in a chemistry lab.

*Dress appropriately: before entering the lab, it is important to dress according to the rules. Students are not allowed to wear let down their hair or wear shorts into the chemistry lab. There are special lab coats for students to put on. Your shoes should cover your legs properly and should also be comfortable.

*Do not wear long ear rings or necklaces to avoid dipping it into chemicals accidentally.

*Wear safety goggles that are splash-proof.

*Do not eat or drink anything while you are in the chemistry lab.

*Do not taste or sniff anything without the consent of your teacher

*Do not play with lab samples, no matter how harmless they look.
