Explanation:

In a laboratory setting, safety is paramount. When a glass beaker is broken, alerting an adult ensures proper guidance and supervision. Clearing the area of other people prevents injury, and carefully cleaning up the broken glass following safety procedures minimizes the risk of accidents. Pushing the glass aside and continuing the experiment or waiting until the experiment is over are unsafe as they leave others at risk of stepping on the glass. Using a broom to sweep up the glass without telling anyone is also improper as it may not follow proper safety protocols for glass - disposal and there is no adult supervision.

Answer:

You should alert an adult, clear the area of other people, and carefully clean up the broken glass while following safety procedures.
