Facilities and Safety Flashcards
This is described as a type of safety that focuses on biohazards and applies precautions from infectious microorganisms.
Biosafety
These are examples of the secondary effects of laboratory accidents.
- Loss of Staff Confidence
- Loss of Reputation
- Loss of Customers
- Increased Costs
These are the two types of increased costs.
- Litigation
- Insurance
This is described as a process in which legal action is taken.
Litigation
This is described as the money to be spent for the primary accidents that occured during a laboratory accident.
Insurance
These are example of primary accidents.
- Burns
- Cuts
- Slips
- Trips
- Fall
- Electric Shock
This is the required design and safety level for all diagnostic and health care laboratories
Biosafety Level 2
These are the number of biosafety levels.
4 Levels
This level of biosafety is designed for minimal hazards and standard practices apply with no special equipment required.
Biosafety Level 1
This level of biosafety is designed for moderate hazards (agents associated with human disease).
Biosafety Level 2
This level of biosafety is designed for serious communicable diseases that may have lethal consquence.
Biosafety Level 3
This level of biosafety is designed for serious communicable diseases that are unvaccinable, exotic, or unknown.
Biosafety Level 4
These are examples of minimal biosafety hazards.
- Escherichia coli
- Lactobacilus acidophilus
- Micrococcus leuteus
These are examples of moderate biosafety hazards.
- Staphylococcus aureus
- Hepatitis A
- Herpes
These are examples of serious communicable diseases.
- Mycobacterium tuberculosis
- SARS-CoV-2
These are examples of serious/exotic communicable diseases.
- Ebola virus
- Monkeypox virus
These are the factors that contribute to the design of a laboratory.
- Path Followed by the Sample
- Report, Delivery, Filing
- Service Rooms
This is the path followed by the sample.
Patient > Receptionist > Sampling Room > Dispatch > Analysis
These are the two professionals that contribute to the overall design of a laboratory.
- Architect
- Medical Technologist
This is the reason why all related surfaces and areas must be close together and segragated in rooms.
To prevent cross-contamination.
