Laboratory Safety Manual

The Laboratory Safety manual is intended to address universal safety measures for achieving a safe and healthy working environment. It describes good laboratory practices that must be understood and observed by all individuals involved in the laboratory. It describes control measures essential for protecting all laboratory occupants from potential biological, chemical and physical hazards.
