🔍 List of 15 Safety Violations (with explanations)



*(Note: Since I can't draw or annotate directly on the image, I’ll describe where each violation occurs and what’s wrong. You can use this list to label the cartoon.)*

---

#### 1. Student using a Bunsen burner without goggles
- Location: Top left — girl heating liquid in a test tube.
- Problem: She is not wearing safety goggles. When heating liquids, there's a risk of splashes or eruptions. Goggles protect the eyes.

---

#### 2. Student holding a hot test tube with bare hands
- Location: Same student — holding test tube over flame.
- Problem: She’s not using tongs or heat-resistant gloves. Hot glass can cause severe burns.

---

#### 3. Student drinking in the lab
- Location: Top right — woman sipping from a beaker.
- Problem: Never consume anything in a lab. Beakers may contain toxic chemicals. This is extremely dangerous.

---

#### 4. Student using a microscope while standing on a stool
- Location: Right side — girl sitting on a stool looking into a microscope.
- Problem: Standing on a stool is unstable and could lead to falls. Also, she’s not seated properly; poor posture increases accident risk.

---

#### 5. Student walking through the lab with a chemical spill
- Location: Center — boy walking near spilled liquid.
- Problem: He’s walking through a hazard zone. Spills should be cleaned immediately. He could slip or spread contamination.

---

#### 6. Student wearing loose clothing and long hair
- Location: Bottom left — student with long hair and open shirt near flame.
- Problem: Loose clothing and long hair can catch fire when near flames. Hair should be tied back and clothing should be snug.

---

#### 7. Student lighting a match near flammable materials
- Location: Bottom panel — student lighting a match near a gas line.
- Problem: Open flames near flammable gases or vapors can cause explosions.

---

#### 8. Student has a fire extinguisher labeled “E FIRE” but no one knows how to use it
- Location: Bottom panel — fire extinguisher labeled “E FIRE”.
- Problem: The label is unclear. Fire extinguishers must be clearly marked and accessible. Also, students should know how to use them.

---

#### 9. Student throwing waste into a trash can instead of proper disposal
- Location: Bottom panel — child throwing broken glass into a regular trash bin.
- Problem: Broken glass and chemicals must go into designated containers (e.g., sharps or chemical waste bins). This can cause injury or contamination.

---

#### 10. Student handling a live animal (dog) in the lab
- Location: Bottom panel — dog running around.
- Problem: Animals are not allowed in labs unless specifically required. They can carry contaminants, disturb experiments, or bite.

---

#### 11. Student with a lit Bunsen burner unattended
- Location: Bottom panel — flame burning with no one watching.
- Problem: Leaving a flame unattended is a major fire hazard. Always supervise active equipment.

---

#### 12. Student wearing sandals
- Location: Bottom panel — person in sandals near chemicals.
- Problem: Open-toed shoes expose feet to spills, broken glass, or falling objects. Closed-toe shoes are mandatory in labs.

---

#### 13. Student using a beaker as a drinking cup
- Location: Bottom panel — person drinking from a beaker labeled "SODA WATER".
- Problem: Even if it says "soda water", lab glassware should never be used for drinking. It could have residue or be contaminated.

---

#### 14. Student carrying a beaker full of liquid while walking
- Location: Bottom panel — student walking with a beaker of liquid.
- Problem: Carrying liquids in beakers is unsafe. Use spill-proof containers or trays. Risk of spilling hazardous substances.

---

#### 15. Student leaving the door open during an experiment
- Location: Bottom panel — student exiting the room with door wide open.
- Problem: The door should remain closed during experiments to prevent unauthorized access and control airflow/chemical exposure.
