Keeping Labs Safer With Engineering Controls
By Kenneth Roy | Published: July 23, 2018
Engineering controls can help isolate people from hazards and make the lab safer, according to the OSHA/NIOSH ‰??Hierarchy of Controls.‰?? Laboratories require specific engineering controls to address biological, chemical, and physical hazards. Appropriate and mandated engineering controls include ventilation, fume hoods, fire extinguishers, eyewash stations, and safety showers. The following list describes common engineering controls found in academic laboratories.
1. Electrical safety controls
2. Eyewash/showers
3. Fire blanket
4. Fire suppression
5. Footprint
