Flame Photometer Hazards
Keeping co-workers and yourself safe
Any piece of laboratory equipment can pose a hazard. Over time casual attitudes have resulted in the creation of some pithy tongue-in-cheek “Laboratory Rules & Observations”, such as:
You cannot detect an odourless gas by its smell;
Hot Glass looks exactly the same as cold glass;
Never lick the spoon;
Assume all unmarked beakers contain toxic, fast-acting poison;
Always work with a partner so you have someone else to blame;
Forget “Lab Safety”! I want Super Powers…
…and so on.
