How can one ensure fire safety in a histology lab?
Fire safety is a critical aspect of lab safety due to the presence of flammable chemicals and equipment:
1. Fire Extinguishers: Ensure fire extinguishers are available and personnel are trained in their use. 2. Flammable Storage: Store flammable chemicals in designated, flame-resistant cabinets. 3. Emergency Exits: Keep emergency exits clear and ensure everyone knows the evacuation routes. 4. Avoid Open Flames: Minimize the use of open flames and use electric alternatives whenever possible.
