Great new laboratory Safety series created in PowerPoint . L aboratories are the site of many potential hazards, including the many hazards presented by chemicals themselves. One of the most prevalent hazards is the risk of fire.
Fires cause much property loss, cause very painful injury and even cause death.
Flammable chemicals can contribute greatly to the start of a fire. Flammables also contribute a high heating value to the continuance of the fire. This program describes three models of fire.
