The material also helps learners explain your role and your employer’s role in keeping the lab safe.

Stop. Take a breath. If it’s safe, grab the spill kit and contain it. Warn others and follow your lab’s emergency plan. If things look risky, get out and call for help. You can find more on this in OSHA’s Chemical Hygiene Plan (29 CFR 1910.1450).
Good housekeeping goes a long way—keep flammable stuff where it belongs, keep your workspace clear, and check your equipment. Know where the fire extinguishers are and how to use them. OSHA’s Fire Prevention Plan standard (29 CFR 1910.39) has more.
At a minimum, you’ll need gloves and a lab coat. If things get more serious, you might need a respirator or face shield. It depends on the situation. Check out OSHA’s Bloodborne Pathogens Standard (29 CFR 1910.1030) for the full list.
Every lab needs an emergency action plan. It tells you how to evacuate, who to call, and what to do when things go wrong. OSHA lays it all out in their Emergency Action Plans standard (29 CFR 1910.38).
Chemical spills, biological exposure, fires, and radiation are the big ones. Each comes with its own set of risks, and OSHA’s lab safety standard (29 CFR 1910.1450) tells you how to handle them.
