Laboratory Safety Assessments

Protect personnel, research integrity, and lab environments by identifying hazards, evaluating risks, and implementing industry-standard controls.

🔍 Key Components of Lab Safety

Every assessment starts with a clear breakdown of the hazards and how they intersect with your operations.

1. Hazard Identification

  • Chemical: Toxicity, flammability, reactivity (e.g., HF, peroxides)
  • Biological: Pathogens, bloodborne agents, recombinant DNA
  • Physical: Radiation, lasers, noise, ergonomic stress
  • Equipment: Pressurized systems, cryogenics, electrical hazards

2. Risk Evaluation

  • Use risk matrices to rate severity and likelihood
  • Apply the hierarchy of controls: elimination → PPE

3. Control Measures

  • SOPs for hazardous procedures
  • Engineering controls (fume hoods, interlocks)
  • PPE selection (gloves, goggles, lab coats)
  • Emergency preparedness (spill kits, eyewash stations)

Documentation & Regulatory Compliance

4. Documentation & Training

  • Maintain risk assessment records
  • Train staff on SOPs and emergency response
  • Use digital tools (Stanford’s Lab R.A.T., UW templates)

🧭 Regulatory Frameworks

  • OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1450: Chemical Hygiene Plans
  • NIOSH: Hierarchy of Controls
  • ACS Tools: What-if Analysis, JHA, SOP templates
