CHEMICAL STORAGE IN THE LAB
Video
To promote safety in the lab, every chemical should have a specific storage place and,
after a chemical is used, the remainder should be returned to that place. The
improper storage of chemicals can lead to health risks, fires and explosions, or dangerous
spills. One key to safe chemical storage is chemical compatibility. The
dangers of incompatible chemical mixing can be minimized by segregating chemicals
according to their properties. This program deals with such specifics as highly
toxic substances, flammables and radioactives. 8 minutes.
