Information added is relevant and up-to-date. It adds to the quality of the article. More information on PPE would improve the article. The article has a persuasive/instructive tone that should be altered. The sources added are of good quality and are cited throughout the article to support information. The links to the sources work. The article was a little difficult to read in places. Multiple sentences are grammatically incorrect. The image of the NFPA diamond could be captioned better. Include "NFPA diamond" as well as the current information in the photo's caption. Photos of PPE might be beneficial.

Replace "to" with "too" in 2nd sentence.

Replace "chemicals safety" with "chemical safety" in 3rd sentence.

Remove "0-4 (stable-deadly)" at beginning of Common Safety Practices. Redundant and does not correlate to the following sentence.

From sandbox:

0-4 (stable-deadly) The most basic and common chemical safety practice includes wearing protective personal equipment such as safety googles. Safety googles are required when handling chemicals to prevent chemicals from getting into your eyes. Wearing standard gloves, closed toed shoes, long pants/socks, and shirts/lab coats to protect the stomach, back and forearm is usually required in the lab/workplace. Regulation is tricky and it varies by country. and some states have extra regulations to protect laboratory workers from potential danger.

In multiple places, the author instructs the reader to do certain things and uses the word "you" in reference to the reader. The purpose of these articles is to be informative, not instructive. Describe what NFPA is and what information the NFPA diamond provides as well is its location (e.g. on the side of the glass bottle or on the box the chemical is shipped in).

From sandbox:

Chemicals with the potential to actively polymerize, decay, condense or are volatile.8

Transport[edit] Transportation
In workspace or transporting In workspaces or during transportation, chemicals should be classified with preparation and distribution of safety data sheets. Classifying chemicals by their IUPAC name, identifies the appropriate data regarding the hazards of a    chemical; learn the hazards associated with the chemical; and decide whether the chemical will be hazardous as or not, signs and symptoms of health hazards, how the chemical can enter your body; tolerable exposure limits. (confusing wording)  Storage container must be in good conditions.

Both acidic (pH < 4) and alkaline (pH >10) solutions can induce a chemical burns ranging in severity based depending on the chemical 's concentration and period of contact ranges its severity.

This entire article seems like instructions rather than just providing information. There shouldn't be the use of "should", "most", "always, "you", etc.

Might be a good idea to include a subsection on PPE including photos.
