Lab coat, safety glasses, gloves, long hair tied back, no eating, drinking smoking or taking medication in the lab. Wash you hands on leaving the lab. If a substance give off hazardous fumes use a fume hood. Solvents stored in locked solvent cupboard, posions stored in locked poisons cabinet. Acids and Alkalis stored seperately (they react explosively with each other). Keep flames away from any flammable liquids. Turn on a bunsen flame when 'yellow' then turn air hole to give blue flame. Clear up any spills immediately and inform appropriate person of any major spill. Any accidents should be reported (entered into an incident book).
COSHH forms written for any proceedure where any 'substance hazardous to health' is used. MSDS- Material safety data sheets, provided by manufacturers with any hazardous substance list any hazards of working with that chemical. Learn the symbols and meanings of corrosive, irritant, harmful, toxic, flammable, extremely flammable.

Tie long hair out of the way,
always wear safety goggles, especially around corrosive reagents and bunsen burners,
always leave bunsen burners on the yellow flame when not in use, as the blue flame is hard to see, and clothes are rarely inflammable,
always clear your work surface to make sure you have enough room
clean up any spillages, as they happen
report all accidents immediately
tidy away all unnecessary stools
keep bags and coats in one designated part of the lab where no one can trip over them
wear lab coats if possible

Taste everything to make sure it's safe.
Stick your head in the fume cupboard and inhale deeply.
Leave bunsen burner gas taps on for 20 mins before igniting.
