Improvements needed[edit]

A number of relevant topics are not even mentioned, including heating mantles, fume hoods and ventilation, spray booths, dust explosions, peroxides, etc. Wikipedia is not a WP:HOWTO giving detailed advice, but it should provide a comprehensive overview and introduction to the topic, with Wikilinks to relevant articles, and references to WP:RS for more details. For some hazards, there is already excellent coverage in other Wikipedia articles, so there is little point in duplicating it here, but the existence of the hazard should be noted and summarized, with a clear Wikilink pointer to more-detailed coverage.

Science. Five general safety rules in the laboratory[edit]

1. No horseplay will be tolerated. 2. Minimize all chemical exposures. 3. Avoid skin and eye contact with all chemicals. 4. Know emergency exit routes. 5. Assume that all chemicals of unknown toxicity are highly toxic.

In Popular Culture section?[edit]

Would it be worthwhile to link to a few films and books that discuss laboratory safety? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:%22In_popular_culture%22_content https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warning_Sign_(film) 2600:8804:6600:45:D5CA:60B4:B768:3722 (talk) 16:32, 15 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
