SAFETY COMPONENTSSlide3
FIRE EXTINGUISHERS
A fire extinguisher, flame extinguisher, or simply an extinguisher, is an active fire
protective
device used to extinguish or control small fires, often in emergency situations.Slide4
EYE WASH STATION
Eyewash is a fluid, commonly
saline, used
in the aid of rinsing of the eye. Eyewash may also describe the apparatus used to physically wash the eyes in the case that they may be contaminated by foreign materials or substances.Slide5
FIRST AID KIT
A first aid kit is a collection of supplies and equipment for use in giving first aid,
and can put together for the purpose or purchased complete.Slide6
FUME CUPBOARD
A fume hood or fume cupboard is a type of local ventilation device that is designed to limit exposure to hazardous or noxious fumes,
vapors
or dusts. A fume hood is typically a large piece of equipment enclosing five sides of a work area, the bottom of which is most commonly located at a standing work height.Slide7
BIOHAZARD CABINET
A Biohazard cabinet — also called
biosafety
cabinet (BSC), biological safety cabinet or microbiological safety cabinet — is an enclosed, ventilated laboratory workspace for safely working with materials contaminated with (or potentially contaminated with) pathogens requiring a defined
biosafety
level. Slide8
WASTE DISPOSAL FACILITIES
Ensuring adequate space for waste disposal facilities and signage is incredibly important both for new lab move-ins and during the ongoing operation of the lab. Ideally, labs will have one or more ‘waste stations’ that include the following
:
Paper disposal facilities.
Separate lab plastic or glass recycling
receptacles
.
Reusable bio-hazardous waste and/or sharps containers (as needed
).
Electric waste disposable facilities.Slide9

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENTS
When working in a laboratory we use many equipments for our protection such as gloves, goggles etc.Slide14
MSDSs
A Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) or internationally known as Safety Data Sheet (SDS)
(also known as PSDS, Product Safety Data Sheet) is an important component of
product stewardship
and workplace safety. It is intended to provide workers and emergency personnel with procedures for handling or working with that substance in a safe manner, and includes information such as physical data (melting point, boiling point, flash point, etc.), toxicity, health effects, first aid, reactivity, storage, disposal, protective equipment, and spill-handling procedures. MSDS formats can vary from source to source within a country depending on national requirements.
