We lock away all our chemicals as they can be dangerous if you don’t know what you are doing, even water can be dangerous if used in the wrong way.

Well every chemical with have a classification code and hazard label, as well as a COSHH label, eg flammable, corrosive. All chemicals have to be stored accordingly. Even though the cupboard they are stored in might not be locked the lab is key card access only, 2 of these, before you get inside for safety reasons.

Ok thanks. When you say water can also be dangerous in what way? Do you mean if it mixes with electrical equipment e.g. electricity then some very bad things could happen or something else?? I also suppose it could mean if you put say 2 chemicals together then water gets put in or put in by accident your experiment can go wrong in all sorts of way so you keep them all locked away so you can only take the exact ones you need out/specific chemical?? Thanks for answering my question because I was going to ask it as well but Ellie asked it first but I sent it any way. So thanks for asking mine and Ellie’s question. Ehlola. Xx
