Lab Safety Supplies

Safety equipment is an essential requirement in order to practice safe science. Such equipment should ideally be present in well-marked, highly visible and easily accessible areas in and around laboratories that use hazardous chemicals. There are different types of safety equipment in use, like face shields, safety cutters, and knives, eye goggles, etc. A face shield is a device used to protect a part of the (or complete) face of a person from impact hazards like flying objects, debris, chemical splashes, or potentially infectious fluids. Face shields fall in the category of portable safety shields.  Such shields are mainly used to provide limited protection against explosions, fires, and chemical splash hazards especially in cases where hood sashes cannot provide proper shielding. Safety knives and cutters are also an important part of safety equipment. Many types and sizes of cutters are used for cutting tapes, paper or other such materials. The Fish knife series is a lightweight, disposable version of a cutter. They may either have heavy duty cutters or retractable blades. All the safety knives displayed in this range are suitable for cutting a variety of packaging and some can even cut ropes (up to 12mm diameter). The Penguin series of safety knives have been designed from the patented feature of twin, guarded entries to a utility blade. Even though the knives in the Penguin range are disposable, the twin blade entries give a longer blade life. Safety cutters and face shields can be found in the online catalog of Biomall available for immediate purchase.
