Educational laboratories are one of the most important means of obtaining knowledge through experience, and the lack of occupational safety and health conditions in them exposes both the student and the teacher to many accidents. From this standpoint comes the importance of this study, which aims to assess the level of availability of occupational safety and health requirements in laboratories in educational institutions in the study area, and whether there are differences in occupational safety and health requirements depending on the year of establishment of the educational institution. The study was based on the descriptive analytical approach using a card to collect data, and the study was limited to laboratories in primary and secondary education schools (13), and the study was conducted during the year 2024. The study dealt with three axes (environmental safety, chemical safety and safety tools), and the results showed a significant weakness in the construction safety requirements (with an average of 1.75), where only four conditions were available out of seventeen conditions, and one of the most prominent deficiencies was the lack of an effective ventilation and expulsion system in the laboratories. The study also showed the lack of the simplest safety equipment such as the first aid fund in most schools. The study also showed the lack of differences between the safety requirements for the year of construction...................
