In support of Intramural Research Program (IRP) scientists, DOHS provides training, consulting and resources to ensure that laboratory equipment is used and maintained properly and safely. We provide expert safety and health consulting support for a variety of safety equipment and personal protective equipment (PPE).
The primary means of laboratory safety include good laboratory practices and the use of containment equipment within the laboratory. Safety equipment includes biological safety cabinets (BSCs), chemical fume hoods (CFHs), PPE, and other controls designed to remove or minimize exposures to hazardous materials.
