Most people who think of desks think
about a large wooden desk with pictures of kids or a spouse, with
perhaps a coffee cup or a plant. However, laboratory desks or laboratory workstations
are different than a regular desk would be, because of the nature of
the work. If you are working in a laboratory, or you manage one, there
are things you need to think about when you are designing space for a
professional to work. Here are some of the items you need to consider
when you are designing a workspace.
What Kind of Work Will Be Done?
Some labs have a laboratory desk that is separate from the work area, while others have laboratory workstations
where all the work is done. You need to think about the kind of work
that is done in the lab. The most common type of laboratories are
chemical ones. Chemical labs need specialized work areas for people to
experiment. If you are working with chemicals, you will need a surface
that is easily cleaned and impervious to chemicals. A wood desk would
not be suitable here, because chemicals can cause deterioration of the
wood, or it can rot. A better surface would be stainless steel or powder
coated steel, as they clean easily and are impervious to most
chemicals.
