Having clear emergency procedures can mitigate the impact of accidents:
- Emergency showers and eyewash stations: Ensure these are accessible and staff know how to use them. - First aid kits: Maintain well-stocked first aid kits and ensure staff are trained in basic first aid. - Fire safety: Know the location and proper use of fire extinguishers and fire blankets. - Emergency contacts: Display emergency contact numbers prominently within the laboratory.
