The first topic here in the Blog may very well be the most important one. It is a topic with which every Laboratory worker has to deal with in one way, shape, or form.
Safety.
From day one, we are inundated with Safety training, and Safety Training Equipment. There are even situations when we have to focus more on lab safety, than the actual testing itself. With such a push in today's society to keep workers free from unnecessary risks, health and safety is an integral and important part of our work lives.
So, knowing that everyone in the laboratory from the cleaning crew, to the Lab Director has to deal with Safety, my questions follow:
How has your laboratory implemented new and improved safety standards? Do you have personal stories of what role safety has played in your laboratory career, your professional life, or even your personal life? What future methods and standards for safety will develop in the future of the research and scientific industry?
