Laboratory Support Worker careers

A Laboratory Support Worker plays a key role in maintaining the efficient operation of scientific laboratories. They are responsible for preparing equipment and materials for experiments, cleaning and sterilising laboratory tools, safely disposing of hazardous waste, and assisting scientists and technicians with routine tasks.

These workers may also be involved in data entry, inventory management, and transporting samples. Their work ensures that laboratories remain compliant with health and safety standards and function smoothly for research, diagnostic, or educational purposes.

Laboratory Support Workers typically work in medical, research, industrial, or educational laboratory settings and often collaborate closely with laboratory technicians and other scientific personnel.
