Join Lab Design for the Laboratory Safety Webinar Series

Join Lab Design and our experts for this free webinar series which will help you prevent hazards in the lab both during and after the design/build process.

The design and construction of a laboratory facility play a key role in the well-being of lab personnel and the research they perform. During the design/build process, project teams need to consider important aspects such as ventilation systems, clearly marked emergency exits and evacuation routes, equipment placement, and more. Lab plans must be flexible enough to accommodate future, unknown technology, yet still adhere to safety standards. 

Lab Design will host its Laboratory Safety webinar series on June 25, 2024. This virtual event will feature expert insight on what you need to know about preventing hazards in the lab during and after the design, construction, and renovation process. Learn about important topics such as fire protection engineering, chemical storage and handling, and the conversations you need to have with all project team members in order to achieve a successful result. An interactive Q&A session with each speaker will follow their presentation.

Each webinar in this free event can be attended live and/or on demand. Sign up once to access all the webinars in this series.

  1. Discover how to organize a responsible, safe design/build project
