Laboratory Safety

.

Planning

  • Know the hazards, including chemicals and biologicals, present in the area in which you will be working. Review the MSDSs for information on the chemical hazards, if necessary.
  • Identify the primary and alternate exits in the work area.
  • Know the location and distance to emergency equipment (e.g.,
    eyewashes, spill kits, showers); use equipment only for its designed purpose and in accordance with safe operating procedures.
  • Avoid working alone in a building whenever possible; ensure that
    someone is aware that the laboratory will be occupied outside of regular hours.
