How safe are you in your lab?

The safety and health of laboratory End-users and Analysts are critical. Accidents however happen. This can be due to spillage or breakages. Every lab should therefore be equipped to mitigate such accidents by putting in place measures to ensure remedy as soon as possible.

NESVAX AND CARLOS ARBOLES; YOUR SAFETY PARTNERS

Nesvax Innovations Limited has partnered with Carlos Arboles S.A. to bring to you a comprehensive solution to your basic laboratory safety concerns.

This partnership addresses the concerns of laboratory analysts who may be at risk of common lab injuries such as burns, lacerations, and chemical irritation, and inhalation.:

Eyewash stations

Everyone should wear proper eye protection when working in a lab, but accidents can happen. If any chemicals or broken glass get in or around someone’s eyes, they must wash out the material immediately to reduce the chances of chemical burns, blindness, and other forms of permanent damage. Therefore, eyewash stations are essential safety equipment for any lab. Ideally, there should be multiple eyewash stations throughout the lab area so that they can be quickly accessed in case of an emergency.

Safety showers

In the case of hazardous chemicals coming into contact with your skin, it’s extremely important to have a way to promptly rinse off the substances. This is the reason why all laboratories should include a safety shower. After removing any contaminated clothing, the affected person can enter the shower and pull an overhead handle to drench themselves with water. Doing so will help prevent serious injuries associated with prolonged chemical exposure.

Protective gloves

When you’re working in a lab, your hands are often at the most risk for coming into contact with hazardous chemicals. By wearing suitable protective gloves, you can significantly reduce your risk of injury. The main types of disposable gloves are made of latex or nitrile. If you’re working with stronger chemicals or heat, however, you will need extra protection. Gloves with stronger protection include chemical- and heat-resistant gloves. Before choosing which type of gloves to wear, carefully read the appropriate material safety data sheets to determine the level of protection you’ll need while in the lab.

Laboratory-safe refrigerators

Flammable liquids should always be stored in a cool dry environment. Storing flammable equipment in domestic refrigerators, however, can pose a serious safety hazard. This risk occurs because regular refrigerators contain exposed sources of ignition and because their temperatures are simply too high. As such, a safe refrigerator is a necessary piece of safety equipment in any lab. The inside of this chiller lab equipment has no sources of ignition, and it incorporates additional safety features such as self-closing doors, compressors, and magnetic door gaskets.
