Further, in the eleventh five year plan, the Government of India sanctioned more funds for education, women and child welfare schemes; apart from these, the industry-oriented policies resulted in the establishment of many educational institutes such as engineering, pharmaceutical, medical, agricultural and veterinary colleges and universities, besides chemical industries. These activities resulted in the establishment of many laboratories of different purposes including medical, veterinary and diagnostics. It is obvious that these are managed by different workers of different codes-laboratory attenders, technicians, different scientific personnel. These persons should manage the laboratories accident free. They must be aware of different accidents and hazards. They should have knowledge about electrical, chemical, radiological, biological, fire, toxic, inflammable and corrosive chemicals to run the accident-free laboratory and to minimize the loss in case of accidents.
