Safety is very much important in the laboratory as many chemicals are handled/used.
Please look in to this general safety measures for laboratory and ensure the same.
1. No running or jumping, horseplay in a laboratory is
permitted. Stored items or equipment shall not block access to the fire
extinguisher(s), safety equipment, or other emergency items – Ensure free safe
access. Stairways, hallways, passageways/aisles and access to emergency
equipment and/or exits must be kept dry and unobstructed; i.e., no storage, no
equipment, phone or other wiring. No combustible material such as paper, wooden
boxes, pallets, etc., shall be stored under stairwells or in hallways. Hallways
shall be kept free of boxes and materials so that exits and normal paths of
travel are not blocked.
2. Eating or drinking within laboratories is not permitted. In all laboratories specific office areas may be designated for food in coordination with the Safety Committee Members. They must be physically separated from any laboratory operations. In the specified office areas no consumables, reagents or any tools should be shared with work areas. Ensure all chemicals are rightly labelled.
3. No food or beverage may be stored in the cold rooms/Laboratory refrigerators and freezers. Disposable water bottles not to be used.

laboratory or chemical storage area.
5. Clothing worn in the laboratory should offer protection from splashes and spills, should be easily removable in case of an accident – PPE Matrix to be followed. Nonflammable, nonporous aprons offer the most satisfactory and the least expensive protection. Lab jackets or coats should have snap fasteners rather than buttons so that they can be readily removed. These coats are to be fastened closed while working and removed prior to exit from the laboratory. It is highly recommended that no sandals or open-toed shoes shall be worn by laboratory personnel in the laboratory.
