ABSTRACT
Laboratory safety and health covers a broader sector of issues than what might be imagined. It is, in short, a mistake to think of the laboratory as a place where workers simply have “exposure to chemicals,” given that their potential exposures include bloodborne pathogens, compressed gases, electrical safety, ergonomic issues, «ammable and combustible liquids, «ammable materials, hazardous waste, radiation-and now even the uncertainties of nanotechnology work.
