What are the protocols for dealing with emergencies in a histology lab?
Having protocols in place for emergencies can mitigate risks and ensure a swift response:
1. Emergency Contacts: Post emergency contact numbers in visible locations around the lab. 2. First Aid Kits: Keep first aid kits stocked and accessible. Ensure personnel are trained in basic first aid. 3. Eye Wash Stations and Showers: Ensure eye wash stations and emergency showers are functional and easily accessible. 4. Incident Reporting: Report and document all accidents or near-misses to improve safety protocols and prevent future incidents.
