Providing a safe lab environment helps to minimize risks with injury and illnesses among laboratory workers. Providing the necessary training and information will better support and equip the workers within the environment. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration offers guidelines in Laboratory Standards to ensure accountability and education is maintained throughout industrial, governmental, and academic labs. Training programs can be performed by the Office of Environment, Health, and Safety to ensure the handling of chemicals and their disposal are along safe lab practices.
