This is level 3 – the final level. There are no hints in this level and we suggest this shows relatively decent practice. However, we can identify at least 3 discrete hazards or examples of poor practice. Can you find them all? Can you find more?
Earlier stages of this exercise: You are welcome to re-attempt level 1 or level 2 of this exercise.
Would you like to try other scenarios? Other scenarios are available including titrations, general chemistry, synthetic chemistry A, B or C.
Disclaimer: We have deliberately introduced health and safety issues into these analytical chemistry lab scenes for educational purposes. We do not condone bad lab practice, but allowing learners to see such scenarios can help develop hazard perception skills and a general appreciation of health and safety. We have not highlighted all hazards in these exercises. Best practice may differ in your institution so please discuss this with a local instructor.
