Laboratories contain many hazards including flammable chemicals.
Flammable chemicals in the laboratory can be classified as three distinct types; Gases, Liquids and Solids.
Flammable chemicals and the correct understanding and storage of them is essential to keep the building, occupants and assets of the building safe.
Although perceived as very complex, fire safety in the laboratory can be narrowed to understanding the fire triangle and limiting one or more sides of the triangle with proper techniques and storage.
This program is basic and meets the needs of professionals at every experience level.
