Abstract

Laboratory safety is major of importance to
occupational health and safety, which manages, and responds to all issues and
concerns surrounding physical, biological, ergonomic, electrical, chemical, and
other standard operating procedures.

 

In this work, laboratory design and equipment,
which are arranged according to precautions that are taken against to all
hazards regarding to work environment or personal expose at the work
environments in laboratories that are already exist or will be established in
universities, are discussed according to legislation and regulations of
Occupational Health and Safety Law No. 6331. In addition, some examples of
Occupational Health and Safety applications of leading university laboratories
in the world are given.
