Learn More Lab Health and Safety Safe Storage of Combustibles to Avoid Lab Fires Laboratory fires are all too common and can be devastating One event we constantly try to prevent is a laboratory fire. Unfortunately, they are all too common and even “small” ones can cause tremendous damage and adversely impact not only the immediate lab where the fire occurred but also most adjoining labs.
