Laboratory safety and security management is the responsibility of managers and users, so it is necessary to understand the knowledge of laboratory safety and security that is carried out periodically so that awareness of hazard risks can be optimized. This study aims to determine: the implementation of occupational safety in the laboratory, occupational safety standards in the laboratory, the completeness of facilities and infrastructure that support occupational safety in the junior high school science laboratory. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach method, namely by digging data from the object being studied. Primary data collection was obtained through interviews and observations. Meanwhile, secondary data was obtained through documentation. The results of observation of the implementation of occupational safety in the laboratory show that the efforts made are in the form of prevention efforts from the implementation system, design and layout of the laboratory as well as efforts to handle accidents and optimize through evaluation. Based on data analysis on efforts to optimize the implementation of laboratory work safety at one of the Ngawi Regency Junior High Schools, it does not meet government work safety standards, but improvements have been made so that they can meet these standards.
