Exercise 1
Which safety items are you currently lacking in your planned work area?
What is your plan for acquiring these items before using your kit?
I do not have any of these items, except for the first aid kit.
Fire extinguisher- home depot;
Spill cointainment kit- I have sodium bicarbonate and will purchase sand at home depot;
Eyewash station- I have a sink;
Safety goggles- home depot;
Laboratory shower- I have a regular shower;
Fume hood- I have an exhaust fan in my kitchen.
What location have you selected for conducting science experiments in
your home? What, if any changes do you plan to make to the location
before using your kit?
In the kitchen since it is close to the exhaust fan and I have a solid surface. If my plan
changes, I will do it in my back yard for the fresh air, and I also have a solid surface.
