Laboratory safety is paramount in laboratory environments, and equipment like fume extractors, glove boxes, and specialized clothing play a crucial role in protecting personnel. Fume extractors remove hazardous airborne particles and fumes, ensuring clean air in the lab. Glove boxes provide a sealed environment for handling sensitive or dangerous materials, preventing contamination and exposure. Protective clothing, including lab coats, gloves, and safety goggles, shields against chemical splashes, biological hazards, and other risks. These safety measures are essential for maintaining a secure and compliant laboratory environment.
