D- Good Housekeeping:
A clean work area is safer than cluttered or dirty one. Use the following
guidelines to maintain an orderly laboratory:
1. Laboratory benches and aisles should not be used as storage areas,
but should be cleared as each experiment or job is completed.
2. Keep work areas clean and uncluttered with chemicals and
equipment. Clean up work areas upon completion of an operation
or at the end of each work day, including floors.
3. Do not block exits, emergency equipment or controls or use
hallways and stairways as storage areas.
