  • Overview

PURPOSE:

Safety concerns may be overlooked in the bustle of day-to-day laboratory activities. Two interactive and light-hearted demonstrations sensitize participants to the importance of safety.

KEY MESSAGES:

  • Laboratory Safety affects all the key stakeholders:
    • The patient, affecting his/her direct safety, plus the safety and integrity of the patient’s sample
    • The individual laboratorian, and the entire laboratory & hospital staff
    • The community-at-large 
  • Laboratory Safety is everyone’s concern … and everyone’s responsibility!
  • Aerosols are a significant reason for laboratory staff infections.

SELF ASSESSMENT:

Can you:

  • Think of and become sensitized to improper safety practices in all daily laboratory routines?
  • Create a safe environment for laboratorians, patients, and the community?
