Expert insights

In this free webinar, Herbert Heidfeldt, Consultant for Environment Health & Security at Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, will deliver a basic safety lecture using practical examples to illustrate the safe storage of chemicals in the laboratory. He will provide an overview of storage classes and storage concepts for safe storage of chemicals, explosion protection, safety cabinets and a practical guideline for handling chemicals.

Using several case studies, video clips and his extensive experience of International Organization for Standardization (ISO), Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) and social auditing, Herbert will cover the daily challenges for lab staff to manage work quality and Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) requirements.

Topics include:

  • Storage Classes
  • Storage Concepts (in general and for small quantities)
  • Explosion Protection
  • Cabinets and Equipment
  • Sources of Information
  • Disposal Considerations

Safety EquipmentLaboratory safety equipment is essential to the effective operation of all laboratories and is required to minimize the risk of harm during experiments. Safety equipment includes radiation safety, radioactive / hazardous waste disposal, alarms and personal safety.Fumehoods and Biological Safety CabinetsFume hoods and biological safety cabinets are used to provide personnel, sample and environmental protection by limiting exposure to hazardous materials either by venting or enclosing hazardous sample space. Fume hoods include filtered and ductless fume hoods, general ducted fume hoods, laminar flow cabinets and cabinets for powder weighing. There are three classes of biological safety cabinet, dependent on the level of protection provided. Class I provide personnel and environmental protection, class II provide product, personnel and environmental protection. Class III provide the highest level of protection and are designed for use with high-risk biological agents. Other ventilated workspaces for the laboratory include glove boxes, glove bags, anaerobic and hypoxic workstations. Find the best fume hoods and biological safety cabinets in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Laboratory ManagementLaboratory management involves overseeing the operations of a lab, ensuring compliance with safety regulations, optimizing workflows, and maintaining equipment. Efficient lab management is key to ensuring accurate results and minimizing downtime. Technologies like laboratory information management systems (LIMS) and automated lab equipment are helping labs streamline operations.
