Here is a list of rules I have learned working in a lab and being in lab classes over the years. Most of them I or someone around me learned the hard way.
LAB RULES
1. Change your gloves
2. Do not eat any samples. Even if they are food.
3. LABEL! EVERYTHING!
4. Do not leave any liquids precariously over the edge of a counter
5. The heat glove cannot touch things that are 550 Celsius
6. Add acid to water, never water to acid
7. Always have a spare pair of jeans
