Question

The table shows five items that a person may consider including in a safety contract.

Item number Item
1 Label all containers.
2 Tie long hair back.
3 Bring a cell phone to the lab in case of emergency.
4 Bring a small laptop computer to the lab to use MSDS online.
5 Wear safety goggles at all times.

Which three of the five items would be best to include in a safety contract?
1, 2, and 3
1, 2, and 5
2, 3, and 4
3, 4, and 5

Answer 1

1, 2, and 5.

Labeling containers, tying back long hair, and wearing safety goggles are fundamental lab-safety rules. Bringing cell phones or personal laptops into the lab is usually discouraged (distractions, contamination, or damage), and MSDS/SDS should be available through designated, safe lab resources.
