Nice post. Most of the rules are just common sense.
I am studying chemistry in the university and some of this rules are ignored. There is not an specific room for flammable and explosive substances, most of the reagants are stored in the same laboratory where preparations are made (some are in open shelves above the tables), reagants are usually taken directly from the commercial bottle, etc.
Some of these rules are not easy to be applied in the real world, except in a laboratory specifically designed for it.
@ropaga, that's the truth but standard laboratory must well be designed, and have all the following, Preparatory Room, Weighing Room, Store and Balance Rome. Different Solvents must be kept separate from others, to avoid an explosion. As students, sometimes students misused opportunity been given at a particular time to displayed his or her talent. Thanks, boss.
you are correct @semilore. All explosive chemicals and reagent must be kept in a cool place to avoid explosion, as increase in temperature can speed up a chemical reaction thereby causing unnecessary expansion of chemical molecules. puammmm, Explosion just occur,lol
