Safety at work in the laboratory starts at the equipment selection stage. Proper storage of reagents is not only about keeping shelves tidy, but above all about protecting the health of staff who have daily contact with volatile and irritating substances. Improper chemical storage conditions also harm the infrastructure. Corrosive vapors damage equipment and electrical installations. A ventilated chemical cabinet reduces this risk by combining the storage function with active vapor extraction outside the work zone.

Microbiological and chemical laboratories differ primarily in the scope of work, biological risks, and equipment and safety requirements. In microbiology, aseptic conditions and control of microorganisms are crucial, while in chemistry, work with reagents, reactions and vapor emission dominate.
