Safety has been an essential part of the Lab’s history from the beginning. In the early days of science, safety procedures used today were unknown, but as time went on, the Lab established EHS to protect everyone at the Lab so each could go home safely at the end of their shift. https://berkeleylab.exposure.co/celebrate-the-past-environment-health-safety?source=share-berkeleylab
