The laboratory environment can be a hazardous place to work. Potential hazards include chemical, biological, physical and radioactive hazards, as well as musculoskeletal stresses.
Chemicals present distinct, physical health hazards to workers, which is why chemicals are a significant concern for laboratory personnel. In labs, personnel are likely to be exposed to mixtures of certain volatile chemicals. The Lab environment may prove quite dangerous or unstable, and when materials are stored beside other unpredictable chemicals or thrown together with dangerous compounds, the potential for risk increases greatly.
