Abstract
Knowledge of basic laboratory skills can pay huge dividend in terms of overall health of the pupil as well as accuracy of results by decreasing chances of errors and accidents while working in the laboratory. This chapter outlines general safety measures to be followed by analysts and researchers while performing any experiment. Important signs/symbols used in most of the laboratories are also given in pictorial form. Further, commonly used tools and operations, namely, electronic weighing balance, pH strips, pH meter, volumetric equipment, and titration, are also explained in detail. Lastly, management of laboratory waste (especially chemical section) required for the overall safety of the lab is also briefly explained in this section.
