Objectives of the Course

It has been proved statistically that a very low rate of accidents occurring in laboratories and production areas originate from technical errors and 85% from human errors. Lack of information about the substance being studied or not being shown the necessary attention and wrong habits play an important role in the accident. The other side, laboratories have great importance in chemistryIt is extremely important for students to be trained in laboratory work and techniques without starting laboratory work. The protection of the community and the environment is directly related to the individual behavior, knowledge and skills of the staff working in the laboratory. Our aim is to educate our students to learn about chemicals, hazards, safety precautions and protection methods and to inform them about working in a safe environment with less errors in their work and daily life and to have knowledge about the laboratory techniques to use in the field of chemistry.
