Abstract
Although laboratories are potentially dangerous places, the records of accidents that occur show that the number of serious injuries is relatively low. In schools, the gymnasium and workshops have more accidents, and more injuries occur in corridors than in laboratories. However, science technicians are often called on to give assistance and, considering the hazards in laboratories, they should obviously be capable of dealing with the more likely incidents.
