Wash Bottle Distilled Water NEVER squirt water at another student!!! A wash bottle has a spout that delivers a water stream to a specific area. Distilled water is the only liquid that should be used in a wash bottle
Eyewash Station The Eyewash is located in the back of the lab in my chemical closed and under the Safety Shower. You will need to summons me for assistance at the Eyewash Station. Push this handle to turn on the water – it will stay on until you pull it to turn off. Flush your eyes for 1520 minutes!
Safety Shower Lots of water will come pouring out here to rinse chemicals spilled on you. This is the handle to pull to activate the safety shower.
Eyewash Bottle and Fire Extinguishers are found behind the door, at the door to my chemical room and at the back left corner of the lab stations.
