Laboratory Safety Guidelines

🟨 AxisTwo: Laboratory Safety

Laboratories and industrial facilities are considered high-risk environments due to the presence of rotating machinery, high pressure, chemicals, heat sources, and sometimes flammable gases. To ensure safety, strict and continuous procedures must be followed.

✅ 1. Identifying Site Hazards

  • Conduct a full risk assessment before starting any task.

  • Use a hazard map to locate and highlight hazardous equipment.

  • Attending the site safety orientation course is mandatory before entering the lab.

  • Review Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for all substances used.

  • Understand warning signs such as: toxic materials, radiation, high pressure, or electrical hazards.

✅ 2. Fire Safety

  • Know the locations of fire extinguishers and ensure they are in good condition.

  • Understand the different types of fire extinguishers and their uses:

    • CO₂: for electrical equipment

    • Dry Powder: for flammable chemicals

    • Foam: for flammable liquids

    • Water: for general fires (paper and wood)

  • Train on the PASS technique:

    • Pull: Pull the safety pin

    • Aim: Aim the nozzle

    • Squeeze: Squeeze the handle

    • Sweep: Sweep the nozzle side to side

⚠️ Do not attempt to extinguish a large fire or if the source is unknown.
🧯 Do not store flammable materials near heat or electrical sources.
