October is National Biosafety Month

October is National Biosafety Month, a time to strengthen and reevaluate biosafety practices in the lab. UW Environmental Health & Safety (EH&S) encourages you to set aside some time for laboratory “self-care” or a spa day! A clean and tidy lab helps ensure a safe and healthy work environment and maintain the quality of research samples. Failure to keep good housekeeping practices in the lab can lead to time consuming and costly issues.
