General Safety

Can equipment or furniture be stored in a corridor, and what are the restrictions?

During the winter my work area gets cold; can I use a space heater?

There is a safety shower in the corridor outside my work area. Can I store equipment next to the safety shower, and are there any requirements I need to consider?

Can we use electrical extension cords in our work area and run them through a cable organizer to prevent people from tripping over wires?

My lab is looking to purchase an industrial tool (e.g. drill press, bench grinder). Is safety information available for this type of equipment?
