ABC of Safety in the Biological Sciences
BOTTLES (Holding chemicals and solvents)
All bottles should be adequately labelled with their contents and with the date of preparation or the date of first opening of the bottle.
Many suppliers now offer plastic encapsulated winchester bottles for corrosive chemicals which retain the contents should a breakage occur. NEVER hold or carry a bottle by its neck.
