Abstract

Laboratory personnel are frequently exposed to hazardous chemical, biological, physical, and radioactive agents, posing significant risks to their health and safety. This study analyzes preventive hygiene measures in laboratory settings from both medical and occupational safety perspectives. Through literature review and analysis of two practical case examples, the research examines risks, safety protocols, and medical monitoring strategies for laboratory workers handling toxic chemicals and biological disinfectants. Findings highlight the critical roles of engineering controls, personal protective equipment, Chemical Hygiene Plans, designated work areas, and continuous training in reducing occupational hazards. The study also emphasizes the importance of regular medical surveillance and the application of control banding strategies for resource-limited laboratories. The results provide practical recommendations to enhance laboratory safety, promote a strong safety culture, and ensure the long-term health of laboratory staff.
