The chemistry laboratory includes hazards and risks!  Work in the lab can involve the use of corrosive and toxic chemicals, flammable solvents, and equipment that can cause injury.  Whether taking a lab course or working on a research project, students are expected to be familiar with and conscientiously abide by these established safety practices and procedures.
