Where should you place your bookbags and coats after entering the lab?

• A. In the sink
• B. On the windowsill or coat rack
• C. In the dishwasher
• D. On the floor

Answer: (B)

Keep the work area clear by storing personal items in designated spots away from the benches. Placing bookbags and coats on the windowsill or coat rack keeps aisles and work surfaces open for handling materials, PPE, and any spill or emergency needs. It also reduces the chance that items will contact chemicals, heat, or flames and prevents clutter that could lead to accidents or delays in getting to safety equipment. Sinks and dishwashers are for cleaning, not storage, so putting belongings there risks contamination and clogging. The floor is a trip hazard and can block access to emergency exits or equipment. So using a coat rack or windowsill as intended keeps the lab safer and more organized.
