Abstract

Background and Objectives: This study examines the role of Islamic ethical principles in safety management and the reduction of chemical threats in chemistry laboratories, emphasizing their importance in promoting a safety culture, environmental protection, and the development of ethical and responsible behaviors. Methods: This research utilized descriptive-analytical methods, with data collected through document review. Principles such as "inflicting no harm on others," "trustworthiness", and "environmental protection" were analyzed in the context of their application in laboratory safety practices. Findings: The findings indicate that integrating these principles with modern safety guidelines can significantly reduce chemical hazards, enhance the responsibility of staff and students, and promote sustainable practices. For example, the principle of trustworthiness ensures the precise and responsible use of chemicals, while the principle of environmental protection facilitates optimal chemical waste management and minimizes environmental effects. Conclusion: However, barriers such as lack of awareness, resistance to organizational changes, and the absence of clear guidelines still persist. The study suggests that these obstacles can be overcome by conducting regular training courses based on Islamic ethics, formulating clear safety and ethical guidelines, and establishing effective monitoring systems. The findings show that combining Islamic ethical principles with modern safety standards can create safer, more ethical, and sustainable laboratory environments. Ultimately, this paper aims to enhance the integration of ethical responsibility with laboratory management to foster safer and more sustainable scientific environments.
