Explanation:

In a laboratory setting, when an accident occurs (breaking a beaker and getting injured), the safest and most appropriate first step is to inform the teacher. The teacher can assess the situation, provide proper first - aid if needed, or guide to further medical help. Dialing 911 is an over - reaction if the injury is not serious. Ignoring the injury (even if it seems minor) can lead to infection. Focusing on cleaning glass while injured (especially with an open wound) can cause further harm.

Answer:

ask for help from the teacher
