Adapted from secion 6.3.3 of Laboratory Safety by Hill and Finster, 2010 by Wiley

Q: When planning for a new experiment,
- Critical thinking is key
- Don't try to assess the risks - there's too many
- Rest assured - the book has covered all possible hazards
- Don't try to plan for emergencies
A: Critical thinking is key

Q: When planning a new experiment, the list of items to consider is
- Relatively short
- Quite long
- Quite long, but most items can usually be ignored
- Quite long, plus it is wise to carefully review all of the hazards and possible risks
A: Quite long, plus it is wise to carefully review all of the hazards and possible risks

Q: WHen recognizing hazards, it is best to consider
- All hazards equally
- The overall risk level of the least hazardous steps since they are the most likely to occur
- The overall risk level of the most hazardous steps since they are the most likely to occur
- The overall risk level of the most hazardous steps since they are the most liely to present the greatest danger
A: The overall risk level of the most hazardous steps since they are the most liely to present the greatest danger

Q: One way to reduce risk in some experiments is to run the reaction
- At a higher temperature, which will likely complete the reaction more quickly, leaving less time for mistakes to occur
- On a small scale since any adverse incident will then also be "on a small scale"
- On a large scale so there is more solvent to absorb any unexpected heat release
- In a closed system so that any possible explosion is better contained
A: On a small scale since any adverse incident will then also be "on a small scale"
