Laboratory Code Design

Laboratories are workplaces in which inherently dangerous activities occur. The design of workplaces can go a long way towards providing health and safety for users. For general laboratories this can be achieved by compliance with the design recommendations of the Laboratory Code AS 2982. The prescriptive zones described in AS 60079.10.1.classify the hazardous zones around the storage and reticulation of flammable gases and liquids.
