❖ Always use the largest magnetic follower
possible and, if necessary, use a mechanical
overhead stirrer.
❖ Do not use glass vessels with thick walls, e.g.
Pyrex Heavy Duty Ware or standard beakers
and flasks having capacities of 5 litres or
greater.
❖ NEVER heat glass bottles on a hotplate.
❖ Ensure that the heat is built up slowly to avoid
localised overheating.
❖ Ensure the glassware is completely free from
scratches or other defects.
❖ Place the hotplate in a tray large enough to
contain the liquid in the event of glassware
failure.
❖ Wear the appropriate safety clothing - e.g.
gloves, goggles, protective apron etc.
