Laboratory Safety Guidelines

Laboratory safety guidelines are essential practices designed to protect individuals from hazards while working in a lab. Key principles include wearing appropriate personal protective equipment like gloves and goggles, knowing the location of safety equipment such as eyewash stations and fire extinguishers, and understanding how to handle chemicals safely, including proper storage and disposal. Always follow instructions carefully and never eat or drink in the lab. Additionally, keep workspaces clean and organized to prevent accidents. Being aware of potential hazards and responding calmly in emergencies are vital for maintaining a safe laboratory environment.
