A laboratory can be a dangerous place, but with the daily pressures to get things done, employees can be tempted to take shortcuts and ignore safety precautions. At the same time, with the increasing complexity of the equipment and procedures involved in experiments, employees need an even greater knowledge of safety practices that they may have had in the past.

FIRESAFETYPLUS.COM's "Laboratory Safety Series" shows both new employees and "seasoned veterans" the importance of safety in the laboratory.
