The following will ensure laboratory safety during an experiment;

1) Using tongs to handle a hot beaker: This prevents direct contact with the hot beaker and avoids burns

5) Turning off the hot plate after use: If the hot plate is left on, it could injure anyone who might touch it accidentally

While performing any experiment it is important to take proper safety measures so that any kind of accident will be avoided.

For example, using tongs to handle hot beaker is a safety measure as tongs protect our hands from burning if we bare handedly try to touch the beaker.
