|
|
|
Regarding handling and storage of hazardous material which 2 should be in mind when building a laboratory? |
1. Laboratory and non laboratory activities need to be separated 2. Patient’s and patient samples don’t have common pathways |
|
|
Identify 4 things to do to accomplish good handling and storage of hazardous material? |
1. Circulation paths should be designed in such a way that contact between the public and biological materials can occur only in the rooms where patient samples are collected 2. Reception desk where incoming patients register should be located as close as possible to entry door 3. Access to room where manipulation or analysis of sample to take place or where hazardous chemicals or other materials are stored must be restricted to authorized persons usually laboratory technical staff and maintenance staff
