Equipment to be used
bunsen burner
Potential hazards
Roaring ame is very hot and can caus e s evere burns .
Rapid pas s age of hand through fully luminous ame
us ually does not res ult in a burn. Roaring buns en burner
may "burn back" at low gas ow, with ame emerging
from air holes in bas e; this makes the bas e of the
burner hot to touch and liable to caus e burns . Gas from
gas tap or from end of rubber tube burns with large
luminous ame, likely to caus e burns . Rubber hos e is
eas ily melted by ame from burner, e.g. if burner
knocked over, res ulting in re from burn hole in tube.
Ens ure hair is tied back, s o does not catch alight.
crucible
Potential hazards
Retains heat for a long time after heating to high
temperature with a buns en burner, es pecially if contents
have s ignicant mas s . Avoid inhalation of fumes emitted
during heating.
pipeclay triangle
Potential hazards
End of twis ted wire can s cratch. Pipeclay triangle can be
thrown, ninja-s tyle; pos s ibility of eye injury.
tongs, crucible
Potential hazards
Pos s ibility of burns as tongs retain heat. Us e heatproof
gloves if hot.

Us ers : 1,2,5
Potential hazards
Burns with white-hot ame; UV radiation emitted from
ame may caus e eye damage; do not allow s tudents to
view ame from clos e dis tance; otherwis e harmles s .
Reaction with ethanol may be violent after a long
induction period. Reactions of magnes ium with
dichromate s alts , nitrate s alts , s ulfur, phos phorus or
halogenated s olvents can be dangerous ly violent.
Reaction of magnes ium with s ilica (s and) to form s ilicon
may be dangerous ly exothermic if the s ilica is not
completely dry. Do not us e magnes ium as an alternative
to aluminium in the thermite reaction; the reaction is
dangerous ly explos ive. Magnes ium ribbon can, however,
be us ed as a fus e for the thermite reaction.

Potential hazards
EXTREMELY CORROSIVE TO SKIN AND EYES; EXTREMELY

eye with water cannot be performed fas t enough to
prevent damage to the cornea, res ulting in blindnes s .

Knowledge
I have read and unders tood the potential hazards and s tandard handling procedures of all the equipment, chemicals
and living organis ms .
I have read and unders tood the (Material) Safety Data Sheets for all chemicals us ed and produced.
I have copies of the (Material) Safety Data Sheets of all the chemicals available in or near the laboratory.
Risk assessment
I have cons idered the ris ks of:
re
explos ion
chemicals in eyes
inhalation of gas /dus t
chemicals on s kin
runaway reaction
breakage of equipment
cuts from equipment
s harp objects
rotating equipment
vibration and nois e
pres s ure
electrical s hock
es cape of pathogens
heavy lifting
s lipping, tripping, falling
falling objects
heat and cold

Certication by Teacher
I have as s es s ed the ris ks as s ociated with performing this experiment in the clas s room on the bas is of likelihood and
cons equences us ing the School's ris k matrix, according to International Organization for Standardization Standard ISO
31000:2009 and the Ris k Management Guidelines , HB 436:2013.
I cons ider the inherent level of ris k (ris k level without control meas ures ) to be:
Low ris k
Medium risk
High ris k
Extreme ris k
You have provided an electronic s ignature which is the equivalent of s igning your name with a pen and as s uch will
cons titute a legally binding agreement between the relevant parties . We can give no warranty in res pect to fraud or
Medium ris k
High ris k
Extreme ris k
Where the ris k level is "medium ris k", "high ris k" or "extreme ris k", the following control meas ures will be employed:
safety glasses
gloves
lab coat
apron
fume cupboard
With the s pecied control meas ures in place, I have found that all the ris ks are "low ris k". Ris ks will therefore be
managed by routine procedures in the laboratory, in combination with the s pecied control meas ures .
