Safety in Wet Labs

All Laboratory spaces have certain safety measures that should be taken seriously. Wet lab incubators are no exception. According to Whole Building Design Guide these laboratory spaces should contain a hand-held chemical emergency fire extinguisher in an emergency equipment cabinet. There should generally be one fire alarm pull station by each egress point and an audible and visible (strobe) alarm in each space (not including closets, storage rooms, or coat racks) that could be occupied. Also include toxic gas monitors in each lab module and a gas storage area with audio and visual (strobe) alarms both inside and outside the lab. Eyewash and deluge shower should be located at each module quad.
