Someone I know just got a job with a lab. Kid out of college. How safe are they? How does one go about finding out?

Thanks for the info.

(34,136 posts)It will depend on the job. It is a large thing, a lab, and there are many kinds. The kind I am familiar with are the hospital labs. There are procedures for everything. As long as he follows them he will be fine. It is a long standing practice, everything is covered. There are thousands of lab techs and others who do this every day.
EDIT because I am tired and can't quite seem to put things together including my fingers at the moment
