    In order to safely enter a laboratory, you must:(Select the correct answer)

    • Wear a lab-coat and safety spectacles

    • Wear gloves

    • Tie your hair up

    • You don't need to wear a labcoat or safety specs if you are not doing experimental work

    Correct Answer
    A. Wear a lab-coat and safety spectacles
    Explanation
    To safely enter a laboratory, it is important to wear a lab-coat and safety spectacles. This is because a lab-coat helps to protect your clothing from any potential spills or splashes of chemicals or other hazardous substances. Safety spectacles, on the other hand, protect your eyes from any potential hazards such as flying debris or chemical splashes. Both of these protective measures are necessary to ensure personal safety and minimize the risk of accidents or injuries while working in a laboratory environment.

    • True

    • False
