Abstract: This paper delves into the practicalities of daily teaching management within the organic chemistry basic laboratory at Central South University. It presents a series of refined management reforms and their detailed implementations. By incorporating dynamic digital inventory management for chemicals, strategic partitioned placement of instruments, and a process-oriented approach to hazardous waste handling, we establish a standardized, secure, orderly, and convenient experimental teaching environment for both educators and students. Additionally, the paper innovatively introduces the concept of a “glass instrument claiming station” and implements a laboratory management system that includes “self-inspection”, “platoon leader review”, and three levels of inspection by the laboratory instructor. These measures aim to fully engage students’ initiative and enthusiasm, nurturing a sense of ownership. Consequently, they contribute to enhancing the overall management proficiency and teaching efficacy of the basic organic chemistry laboratory.
