    Laboratory safety refers to protocols for ensuring safety in laboratories. Several organizations set rules and provide education on laboratory safety, including OSHA, CLSI, NFPA, CDC, TJC, and DOH. Proper use of protective equipment like gloves, masks, goggles, and lab coats are explained to prevent disease transmission. Hazards in laboratories like physical, explosive, electrical, radioactive, chemical, and sharps risks are identified and policies put in place to reduce risks.

    Laboratory safety refers to what we should do and not do in a laboratory.

    The following organizations


    deal with laboratory safety: OSHA, CLSI, NFPA, CDC, TJC, and the DOH. These groups have varying roles
    in safety. Setting rules and providing education, outreach, and help, OSHA keeps workplaces safe and
    healthy for all employees. In the health care community, the Clinical Laboratory Standards Institute
    (CLSI) promotes voluntary laboratory consensus standards and practices. The National Fire Protection
    Association (NFPA), founded in 1896, works to prevent fire, electrical, and other hazards-related deaths,
    injuries, and economic damage. The NFPA Diamond, which is made up of multiple colors and numbers,
    was also defined as a mechanism for recognizing the specific risks of material and the intensity of the
    danger during an emergency response. The CDC describes the various safeguards taken from 1987 to
    1996. Finally, The Joint Commission rates hospitals. The Department of Health strives to develop policies
    on laboratory safety. The proper use of gloves, mask, googles, laboratory gown, and faceshield were also
    explained. These rules must be followed to prevent communicable diseases and protect healthcare
    workers. The chain of infection, a series of interconnected processes that define how a pathogen travels
    within a community, was also explained. Infection Control and contact tracing work together to break
    the cycle of infection. Additionally, several hazards such as physical, explosive, electrical, radioactive,
    chemical, and sharps were discussed. The purpose of hazard identification is to identify and document
    potential hazards in your workplace, which aids in regulating and reducing these risks. Healthcare waste
    management can affect everyone in a hospital, so each person should be given training and support
    about how waste handling and disposal directly affects infection control. This way, everyone can help
    keep the hospital hygienic.
