        abstract = {Lab assistants play a crucial role in ensuring a safe and effective learning environment in engineering institute laboratories. Despite their importance, their contributions to laboratory safety are often overlooked. This paper examines the role of lab assistants in maintaining safety standards in engineering labs, focusing on their responsibilities in overseeing safety protocols, assisting with equipment, and providing guidance during practical sessions. The study highlights key challenges faced by lab assistants, including lack of formal training and recognition, and explores potential solutions to enhance their involvement in safety management. Through this research, the importance of lab assistants in fostering a safety-conscious culture in engineering institutions is emphasized.},
