Laboratory Compliance Support
Ensure your laboratory meets the regulatory requirements under Part 18 of the Health and Safety at Work (Hazardous Substances) Regulations 2017 with Sabbath’s compliance support services.
Laboratories used for research, development, or teaching may qualify for exemptions from some hazardous substance controls—but only if they meet strict operational requirements outlined in Part 18. Our team will assess your eligibility, identify any areas for improvement, and help you confidently meet compliance expectations.
Our laboratory compliance services include:
Review against Part 18 regulatory requirements
Assessment of eligibility for laboratory exemptions
Identification of any compliance gaps
Guidance on corrective actions
Optional self-assessment toolkit for small organisations
Compliance certificate (non-regulatory) issued upon satisfactory completion
Who is this for?
We support a wide range of organisations, including:
Schools and tertiary education providers
Research institutions and CRIs
Small-scale private labs conducting low-volume teaching or research
Larger laboratories involved in teaching, testing, or research activities
Additional Support
Our team applies the hierarchy of controls to strengthen risk mitigation and integrates compliance efforts with the 10-Step Hazardous Substances Safety Programme. This ensures not only regulatory compliance but also safer, smarter laboratory practice.
Avoid confusion around exemptions and make sure your lab operates safely and legally. Trust Sabbath to guide you through the Part 18 requirements with practical, expert support.
