Step-by-step explanation:
Chemical hazards: Handling toxic substances can cause irritation and carcinogenicity.
Biological hazards: Biological hazards include hazards from working with small animals, working with bloodborne pathogens and working with biological agents, such as viruses and bacteria.
Physical hazards: Physical hazards include exposure to noise, poor posture and the explosibility and flammability of substances.
Safety hazards: Safety hazards include unbalanced centrifuges, danger when handling hot sterilized items and electrical hazards, such as shock, explosions, blasts and electrocutions.
Allergy hazards: A common allergy hazard in the laboratory setting is a latex allergy, as many of the materials used in a laboratory setting are latex.
Dangers in the laboratory setting can also come from unsafe practices, including:
Working alone in the laboratory
Neglecting to wear a lab coat
Lack of safety training
