With good judgment, the chance of an accident is very small. Nevertheless, research and teaching workplaces (labs, shops, etc.) are full of potential hazards that can cause serious injury and or damage to the equipment. Working alone and unsupervised in laboratories is forbidden if you are working with hazardous substances or equipment. With prior approval, at least two people should be present so that one can shut down equipment and call for help in the event of an emergency. Safety training and/or information should be provided by a teaching assistant, technician, or staff member at the beginning of a new assignment or when a new hazard is introduced into the workplace.
