Laboratory Safety Rules

Basic laboratory safety rules are essential to ensure a safe working environment.
Not wearing open-toed shoes is a basic laboratory safety rule.
Eating or drinking in the laboratory is NOT a basic laboratory safety rule.

Laboratory Specific Safety Rules

These rules address specific hazards and procedures in a laboratory.
Examples of laboratory specific safety rules include handling of biohazardous materials, use of radioactive materials, and disposal of hazardous waste.
Laboratory specific safety rules are designed to minimize risks associated with hazardous materials or processes.

Hazardous Materials and Processes

Examples of hazardous materials or processes in a laboratory include chemical agents, biohazardous materials, and radioactive materials.
These materials or processes can pose physical, chemical, or biological hazards to laboratory personnel.

Importance of Knowing Safety Equipment Locations

Knowing the locations of safety showers, eyewash stations, and fire extinguishers is crucial in case of emergencies.
This knowledge enables quick response to accidents, minimizing the risk of injury or further harm.

Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)

Laboratory specific SOPs address specific hazards and procedures in a laboratory.
These SOPs must be followed in every laboratory that uses hazardous materials or processes.
SOPs ensure consistency and reproducibility in laboratory procedures, minimizing the risk of accidents.
