Course: Lab Safety > Section: Day 1

Based on section 2.1.1 Responding to Laboratory Emergencies from "Laboratory Safety for Chemistry Students" by Hill and Finster 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Q: In introductory chemistry labs, most emergencies involving fires or spills are not likely to be major events since
- Only small quantities of chemicals are used
- Most of the chemicals are not flammable
- Most of the chemicals are relatively safe to use
- Lab instructors can be relied upon to quickly respond to any emergencies
A: Only small quantities of chemicals are used

Q: If you hear a fire alarm, you should
- Leave the lab immediately, taking a moment to shut off electrical equipment and gas burners, if it is safe to do so
- Finish the particular procedure that you are involved with before leaving the lab
- Ask your instructor if it is safe to leave the lab
- Make sure that you see something on fire before overreacting to the situation
A: Leave the lab immediately, taking a moment to shut off electrical equipment and gas burners, if it is safe to do so

Q: If a fire starts near you in the lab, you should
- Extinguish the fire with a fire extinguisher if you are trained to do so and can do this safely
- Immediately leave the lab and building
- Tell your instructor only if the fire seems like it may become larger
- Ask another student what to do
A: Extinguish the fire with a fire extinguisher if you are trained to do so and can do this safely

Q: When leaving a lab during an emergency, you should

Q: When pulling a fire alarm
- You should also call 911 after exiting the building

- Reenter the building to search for your lab partner
- Call 911
- Reenter the building to search for your lab partner if you think that there really isn't an emergency
A: Tell an emergency responder that your believe someone may still be in the building

Q: In the event of a terrorist attack in a science building, you should
- Hide in a safe location or follow the instructions of emergency personnel
- Leave the building immediately, but not pull the fire alarm
- Leave the building immediately, and pull the fire alarm
- Make sure all lab experiments are shut down before taking any other action
A: Hide in a safe location or follow the instructions of emergency personnel

Q: Fire alarms should be pulled
- Any time that it is prudent to evacuate a building, whether there is a fire or not
- Only if you are absolutely sure that there is a fire
