Laboratory Safety Equipment

Utopia manufacture a wide range of Bsc, Bio-Safety Laboratory Equipments in Singapore. According to WHO Bio-Safety BSL1-4 & Animal BSL1-4 guidelines, the house should be independent and detached unit.If it adjoins a laboratory, the design should provide for its isolation from public parts of the laboratory should such need rise, and its decontamination and disinfestations..http://www.utopia.com.sg/bio_safety_laboratory.html

  1. Different Types of Laboratory Safety Equipment

  2. All lab safety equipment products are important installations or additions to other products in the laboratory. Accidents can happen anytime and this equipment can prevent fatal accidents or minimize the danger of accidental exposure to noxious fumes or contaminants.

  3. The laboratory is a setting for different high risk research activities. An accidental spill of a liquid contaminant on skin or eyes or the unexpected combustion of volatile gases are just some of the dangers lab workers face each time they work in the lab.

  4. This should not be case if laboratories are equipped with safety equipment and quality supplies that ensure safety and can save lives. Aging lab safety equipment is a hazard too. These should be periodically checked and replaced with newer equipment.

  5. Large lab fires are not common but this should not be taken lightly. To keep the lab and laboratory workers protected at all times, they need and must know what to do in case of fire. Emergency showers are designed to provide first aid solutions in case a lab worker catches fire from combusting gases or liquids.

  6. Emergency eye wash stations may be required in industrial laboratory setting but it would be best to have these installed in all laboratories just in case a lab employee or student is accidentally exposed to harmful chemicals.

  7. Emergency drench shower units should be easy to operate and provide a continuous flow water until the valve is manually closed. These should be made from heavy duty ABS plastic, the same with wash bowls.

  8. Eye wash stations should be positioned in near working stations with room temperature, kept clean and free from dust. In addition, all lab worker and employees should don fire-retardant capes and bib to protect the body from flying sparks during laboratory duty when handling highly flammable substances.

  9. Some airborne contaminants are odourless and colourless or are influenced by the quality of air inside the laboratory. It is a rule that lab safety equipment should include air ventilation because breathing air in enclosed placed should be continuously replaced with non-laboratory air via a vent.

  10. All laboratories, especially industrial labs must be outfitted with air ventilation to prevent fatal inhalation of toxic gases. The chemical hygiene plan depends on reliable laboratory ventilation and air detector equipment to determine exposure to toxic vapors.

  11. Biological laboratories need Bio Safety cabinets to prevent biological contamination for both user and the specimen. The cabinets are specially designed with high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters to act on air supply and exhaust systems.

  12. There are three types of biological safety cabinets and each are designated to meet specific clinical and research needs for toxicology research. According to WHO Bio- Safety BSL1-4 & Animal BSL1-4 guidelines, the house should be independent and detached unit.
