How does a science technician work safely in the Lab?
What precautions are in place to make the Lab. a safe working environment for the science technician?
What are the various methods of monitoring that the safety precautions put in place are effective?
What are the legal regulations designed to protect the Science technicians?
Most precautions in the lab are either engineering solutions (well-designed ventilation fume hoods), or a matter of wearing appropriate personal protective equipment ("PPE"). The latter being things like appropriate gloves (latex, rubber, nitrile, etc), safety glasses/goggles, lab coats, potentially dust masks or air respirators. These are the most common safety precautions in place for chemistry labs in industry and academia.
