Abstract :In this study, risk analysis is investigated by using 5X5 L Type Matrix Method in laboratories determined within the scope of occupational health and safety. In the risk analysis, 50 risks are identified, of which 30 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(60 %); have a high risk level, 18 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(36 %); have a medium risk level, and 2 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(4 %); have a low risk level. Occupational health and safety rules are applied to control these risks in laboratory research and to minimize their effects. In this context, the things to be done in laboratory studies are listed as follows. Students, lecturers, and laboratory staff working in the laboratory should receive occupational health and safety training. Emergency plans, teams, and drills should be made for situations that may occur during laboratory studies. Chemical use, transport, and storage must be recorded in laboratory research. Physical inadequacies such as ventilation in the laboratory and work area should be eliminated. Chemical hygiene and an accident prevention program are recommended. This study, it is aimed to raise awareness about occupational health and safety in laboratory conditions.
