Question

Laboratory aprons are often required during lab activities. Your instructor will tell you whether it is mandatory or not. True False

Answer 1

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Before students can begin work in a laboratory, they would need proper orientation on the dos and don'ts in the laboratory. The orientation is important because the laboratory is a place where serious work is done and which houses chemicals that could be dangerous when not handled properly. The orientation is provided by an instructor who among other things explains to the students why an apron is important and should be worn at all times during laboratory activities.

The laboratory apron is important as it protects people in the laboratory against corrosive materials. It is also designed in a way that it can be easily pulled from the wearer when an accident occurs. After this orientation the students would not have to be reminded everyday by the instructor about the importance of laboratory aprons.
