Safety measures in a chemical laboratory

In each laboratory, warning signs and labels should be affixed to warn employees of hazardous materials, to draw their attention to possible risks and instruct them to use protective measures. Allow employees to identify hazardous chemicals in use, storage areas, safety measures, emergency equipment and emergency exits. Warning signs are provided by the safety unit.

The MSDS can be obtained from the supplier and must be up to date (up to two years back). You can compare safety sheets from different suppliers and consult with the safety unit team anytime.

Storage areas, drawers and cabinets must be signed based on risk groups.
