As a company of integrity, we deem it our responsibility to raise safety awareness and promote safe working practices in the laboratory. To ensure a safe working environment, the following guidelines may be of help.
We believe the best safety philosophy is to avoid any mishaps and deal with all emergencies calmly and wisely. Before everything else, recognizing the potential source of danger should come first. A basic understanding of terms and labels referring to chemical hazards is quite necessary.
Explosive
flammable
oxidizing
corrosive
gases
toxic
Harmful
Health Hazard
Dangerous for the Environment
| P101 | If medical advice is needed, have product container or label at hand. |
| P102 | Keep out of reach of children. |
| P103 | Read label before use. |
However, there is no comprehensive database available for all substances and new information is consistently found on the front lines of scientific research. So for any reagent, the labeled hazards may not be exhaustive and even if with no explicit hazards given, one should not assume its safety level. This is especially true in the case of new reagents whose properties have not yet been fully investigated. To minimize risks at any given time, one should always take preventative measures and design and conduct experiments in accordance to the risk assessment. Firstly, be sure to wear suitable protective equipment and handle with caution; secondly, prepare for emergencies since it is essential to react promptly and deliberately to mishaps.
