All chemicals used in the laboratory are subject to safe handling methods as specified by the chemical label and Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS). Laboratory risks can be minimized by following these safety precautions when handling.

Always keep general guidelines in mind when handling chemicals:

Always label all containers containing chemicals.
Use protective equipment for eye protection and be sure to wear a lab coat.
Avoid intentionally smelling, inhaling, and tasting chemicals.
Always avoid direct contact with chemicals, away from your hands, clothing and shoes.
Hazardous chemicals should be used only as directed.
Use separate cabinets for acid solutions with concentrations greater than 6 M.
Mark the date on all containers upon receipt and again upon reopening.
Affix chemical labels with all necessary information to all containers.
Read warning labels immediately when opening newly received chemical reagents. This will help to know any special storage precautions such as refrigeration or storage under an inert atmosphere.
Periodic inspection of chemical containers for rust, corrosion and leaks is essential.
Store bottles in chemical-safe bags, especially hazardous, moisture-absorbing chemicals.
Avoid using mouth suction to fill a pipette. Use a pipette bulb or other filling devices.
Smoking, drinking, eating and applying cosmetics are prohibited in areas where hazardous chemicals are used or stored.
Always use chemicals with adequate ventilation. Check with the Material Safety Data Sheet as well as the Standard Operating Procedure to determine what type of ventilation is required.
Whenever you leave the laboratory after handling chemicals, wash thoroughly with soap and water. Keep your hands and face clean, free of all traces of chemicals.
Here are some general guidelines to follow when handling in the laboratory. People involved in large-scale chemical production should be more careful by covering their entire body with personal protective equipment including gloves, clothing, shoes, goggles and safety measures to avoid direct inhalation of products chemicals.
