To minimize the risk of chemical splashes, several precautions should be taken:
1. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Always wear appropriate PPE including lab coats, gloves, and protective eyewear. In some cases, face shields may also be necessary. 2. Proper Storage and Labeling: Ensure that all chemicals are stored in appropriate containers and are clearly labeled. This helps in quickly identifying the chemical and understanding the associated risks. 3. Ventilation: Work in a well-ventilated area or use a fume hood to avoid inhaling harmful fumes. 4. Training and Protocols: Adequate training on the handling of chemicals and emergency procedures should be provided to all personnel.
