Where do forensic toxicologists work?

As a forensic toxicologist, you work in a laboratory or testing site under the supervision of law enforcement, a medical examiner, or a private facility. You use lab equipment, chemicals, and machines to fulfill duties related to processing crime scene samples. Your work environment requires strict chemical controls and can contain odors, harmful substances, and potentially messy samples. A forensic toxicologist must complete tasks with control and precision, and keep the environment sterile, so as a forensic toxicologist, you must follow strict rules to perform your job.
