In case of a lab accident, what is the immediate recommended response?

Contact the lab instructor
Evacuate the laboratory
Call 911 immediately
Use a fire extinguisher

The correct answer is: Call 911 immediately

In the case of a lab accident, the correct response is to prioritize safety by contacting emergency services, which is why calling 911 is the immediate recommended action. This ensures that trained professionals can respond quickly to assess the situation and manage any potential dangers, especially if there are injuries, chemical spills, or fire threats involved. While it is also important to inform the lab instructor and potentially evacuate the area, these actions typically follow the immediate step of alerting emergency services when someone may be at risk. Using a fire extinguisher is only appropriate if the respondent is trained to do so and if it is safe to tackle a fire; otherwise, evacuating and staying safe is paramount. Thus, calling 911 serves as the critical first step in handling the emergency efficiently and effectively.
