What are 20 rules of the lab?

While specific lab rules can vary by institution, common rules include: always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), such as lab coats and goggles; never eat or drink in the lab; keep workspaces clean and organized; label all chemicals and samples clearly; and report spills or accidents immediately. Additionally, avoid horseplay, follow proper procedures for equipment use, dispose of waste correctly, and never work alone in a lab. Always know the locations of safety equipment, such as fire extinguishers and eyewash stations, and ensure that all lab protocols are followed meticulously.
