What’s the safest way to clean broken glass?

Sagot :

Answer:

   Inspect glassware for defects or cracks before use.

   Do not handle broken glass with bare hands. Use appropriate cut-resistant gloves to handle broken glass.

   Use forceps, tongs, scoops, or other mechanical devices for removing or retrieving broken glass from the work area or a fume hood.

   A dustpan and brush should be used to clean up shards/small pieces of broken glass, Pasteur pipettes, or shards of glass.

   Do not remove any items from a sharps container.

   Substitute glassware with plastic ware, including desiccators, wherever possible.
