What do organizations need to consider  when addressing hazardous materials management safety?

For starters, in an existing building, the laboratory environment itself must be examined to create as much built-in safety as possible in order to minimize damage and injury in the event of human-error. Fire code regulations, for instance, were developed to ensure protection from fire hazards by requiring specific material storage, handling and disposal activities. There have been several changes to building and fire codes to improve safety, such as the modern requirement for fire-related control areas. In addition, modern construction materials are often designed to make buildings more burn-resistant.
