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

Answer 1

1, 2, and 5.

Labeling containers, tying back long hair, and wearing safety goggles are direct, essential lab safety rules. Bringing personal electronics (cell phone or laptop) is generally discouraged in labs because they can be distractions, contamination sources, or pose electrical hazards.
