2. Introduction
The hazards in laboratory are mechanical, electrical, energy
radiation (ionizing and non-ionizing), biological, ergonomical
and physical.
In numerous operations and manufacturing processes, there
are hazards arising from the use of „chemicals‟.

4. How to Implement 5 “S” in
LABORATORY
Take out all ledgers, files & forms
Study the frequency of filling for same.
Take necessary action on unnecessary ledger / files / forms
Merge necessary files, forms, ledgers
Apply everything has the place & everything at its place
principal
Prepare & display location list.
Apply cleaning procedures and act on unnecessary things
in office which waste time.
Apply visual management.
Remove duplicate items & implement “one is best”
principle.

5. Chemical Hazards
A chemical hazard is a chemical for which there is evidence that
health effects may occur if employees are overexposed. A health
hazard may be a
Carcinogen
Toxic or highly toxic agent
Reproductive toxin
Irritant
Corrosive
Sensitizer

6. Control – Cords & Wires
Insulate live wires
Check before use
Use only cords that are 3-wire type
Use only cords marked for hard or
extra-hard usage
Use only cords, connection devices,
and fittings equipped with strain relief
Remove cords by pulling on the plugs,
not the cords
Cords not marked for hard or extrahard use, or which have been
modified, must be taken out of service
immediately
