The lab and research guidance was informed by a broad range of representatives, including policy officials across SG, universities, industry bodies, research institutes, trade unions and Health Protection Scotland, ensuring that differing views and issues have been addressed.

The guidance provides a consistent approach in taking steps for a safe workplace, regardless of type of indoor research facility, whilst allowing employers to assess their own risk and put in place the safety measures appropriate for their specific needs.
