Question

When students work in a chemistry lab, the location of which item would be the most important for each student to know?
broom and dust pan, in case the student needs to sweep up broken glass
baking soda, in case the student needs to neutralize an acid spill
ice maker, in case the student needs to cool off hot glassware
safety shower, in case a chemical is spilled on the student’s body

Answer 1

Safety shower — because immediate flushing of chemicals from the body is critical to prevent severe burns, absorption, or other serious injury. (Other items are useful, but a safety shower is the highest-priority emergency resource.)
