Accumulating clutter on the lab bench.
Why: clutter increases the risk of spills, breakage, cross‑contamination and fire, can hide hazards or block emergency access, and makes safe safe handling and cleanup much harder.
Mitigation: keep benches clear, store reagents and equipment properly, label and dispose of waste promptly, and clean up spills immediately.
