Section Five: Safety First When handling chemicals and wastelands, remember that safety comes first when dealing with chemicals like phenol and chloroform. Always work in a well-ventilated area, preferably under a hood. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including gloves and a laboratory coat. Avoid contact with skin or eyes. Proper waste disposal is crucial. Do not pour PCI or other solvents down the drain. Follow your institution's guidelines for the collection and disposal of hazardous waste. Remember, responsible laboratory practices keep everyone safe and protect the environment.
