Because few laboratory chemicals are without hazards, precautions for handling all laboratory chemicals should be adopted. Skin contact with chemicals should be avoided as a cardinal rule. 2. Avoid underestimation of risk. Even for substances of no known hazard, exposure should be minimized; for work with substances which present hazards, special precautions should be
