Safety management is an essential and vital part of managing a laboratory, because most of the ones we are going to handle requires careful and keen actions. We will be encountering a lot of situations where our health is at risk and makes us prone to exposure of various harmful substances or radiations. The workplace, facilities and the how the clinical laboratory is constructed greatly affects the safety management of an organization or hospital.
The primary concern of safety management is that its employees and clients (patients, costumers etc.) are both comfortable and assured that whatever happens, their health would not be compromised and most importantly, not going to cost their own lives.
Safety programs should include the prevention and precautionary bits of information on how to be prepared when a certain situation happens in the laboratory. The chemical, biological and fire prevention measures should be discussed and demonstrated to every employee who would be performing certain tasks that puts their health at risk.
Hazards, protective methods and procedures, safety equipment, safety codes all comprises the safety management that a laboratory and its employees shall comply. It should be all based on the standards and regulations that the authorities have stated to be carried out by a clinical laboratory.
