What precaution should you take when operating machinery in the lab?

Following all operational protocols and safety guidelines is essential when operating machinery in the lab because these protocols are designed to ensure safe and effective use. They provide critical information regarding the proper operation of the machinery, including how to start and stop the equipment, what safety gear to wear, how to handle materials, and what to do in case of an emergency. Adhering to these guidelines minimizes the risk of accidents and injuries, not only to the operator but also to other individuals in the lab environment. Proper training and established procedures take into account various hazards and help in creating a safe working environment.
