This is from personal experience working in a lab. I have no statistics to back this up.
The most common injuries, by far, are cuts and puncture wounds. The most common source of these is broken glass, but there are plenty of other sharp things in a lab. Almost every serious injury I have seen in a lab is a cut or puncture wound.
After cuts, I would say the next most common injuries are back injuries from lifting heavy things, and repetitive motion injuries. These can happen in any environment, though, not just a lab.
Next most common are chemical burns, usually from acid (though other chemicals, like hydrogen peroxide, also cause these). In my experience, these are usually very minor, and don't require more than minimal first aid. Chemical burns in a lab are more likely to affect clothing than skin.
After that, it's a grab-bag of miscellaneous injuries. There are people who get injured from chemical exposure (I've seen a guy go to the hospital with cyanide poisoning), or get chemicals in their eyes. There are also a lot of other less common ways to get hurt in a lab.

Symbols in a lab procedure alert you to _____.?
Symbols are used in lab procedures and in other kinds of instructions to alert you to important information or to the potential for hazards if procedures are not carefully followed.
Are explosives an example of chemical hazards?
Yes, some explosives are chemical hazards, but not necessarily because they can explode. To be more clear, the category of "chemical hazard" has no bearing on whether or not something is explosive. That is, a chemical is categorized as a "chemical hazard" for reasons that have nothing to do with its ability to explode.

Common hazards in a lab include chemical exposures, fires or explosions, sharp objects, biological hazards, electrical hazards, and physical hazards like slips, trips, and falls. Proper safety protocols, training, and protective equipment are crucial to mitigate the risks associated with these hazards.
What is chemical hazards and radio-chemical hazards?
Chemical hazards is when there are chemical that are releasing toxic properties in the environment. Radio chemical hazards are when the chemicals release radiation.

What are some dangerous things which can happen in science lab?
There can be many disasters!! There can be a fire, a chemical leak, an explosion, or an ecuipment malfunction. If you listen to your teacher (or boss, if you work in a lab), then everything should be fine!! Hope I helped!! :)
What are the hazards if any of the reactants AgNo3 and K2CrO4 what safety practices in the lab shold be used to mitigate these hazards?
For K2CrO4 Avoid contact with eyes and skin. for AgNo3 wear chemical splash goggles, chemical-resistant gloves and a chemical-resist apron. Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water before leaving the laboratory. Follow all laboratory safety guidelines.
True or false equals chemical hazards include only the potential health hazards of a chemical?
False. Chemical hazards can include both potential health hazards as well as physical hazards such as fire or explosion risks. It is important to consider all aspects of a chemical's properties when assessing its potential risks.
Are all chemicals in the lab considered dangerous?
Not all chemicals in the lab are considered dangerous. Some chemicals are harmless, while others can be hazardous if not handled properly. It is important to understand the potential hazards of each chemical and follow safety procedures to minimize risks.
Is a fruit pit a chemical hazards?
No. Although some could be choking hazards. Some types of pits (such as apricot and peach pits), if ground up, can contain toxic compounds.
Symbols in a lab procedure alert you to _____.?
