To thrive as a Laboratory Custodian, you need attention to detail, knowledge of cleaning and sanitation protocols, and often a high school diploma or equivalent. Familiarity with safety equipment, Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS), and possibly chemical handling or hazardous waste disposal certifications is beneficial. Reliability, strong organizational skills, and the ability to work independently within a team environment are valuable soft skills. These qualities ensure the laboratory remains a safe, clean, and compliant workspace, supporting both staff efficiency and regulatory standards.
