Proper chemical storage is vital to maintain safety in the histology lab. Here are key practices:
1. Labeling: Ensure all chemicals are clearly labeled with their content and associated hazards. 2. Segregation: Store incompatible chemicals separately to prevent dangerous reactions. 3. Ventilated Cabinets: Use ventilated storage cabinets for highly volatile or flammable chemicals. 4. Spill Kits: Keep spill kits readily available to manage accidental releases of hazardous substances.
