1. The document identifies potential hazards from various laboratory tasks and activities. It analyzes the risks associated with each hazard based on likelihood and severity to determine an overall risk value.
2. For each hazard, the document recommends control measures to reduce risks and assigns a person in charge and timeline to implement each measure.
3. Potential hazards include broken thermometers, corrosive chemicals, electrical issues, burning compounds, rust, and ergonomic issues. Recommended controls include safety training, proper equipment use, personal protective equipment, equipment replacement, and improving work areas.
