About Preventing Contamination in the Laboratory

Handling hazardous chemicals and specimens requires a great deal of caution.

If they are not contained, hazards can spread and contaminate the things around them, including laboratory employees.

Every day laboratory operations call on employees to handle substances like Toxins, Corrosives and Carcinogens.

While employees may think they spend a lot of time protecting themselves, they usually are not doing all they can. Employees need to be as familiar as possible with how they can use Engineering Controls, Safe Work Practices and Personal Protective Equipment to protect themselves and their work environment from contamination.
