What is good laboratory practice?
These are a managerial QC system covering the oraganisational process and the conditions under w/c non-clinical health and environmental studies are planned, performed, monitored, recorded, reported, and retained (or archived)
True or False

True
Good lab practice guarantees what?
It guarantees that the data submitted are based on accurate results obtained from the study
What are the things that should be done in terms of promoting and maintaining lab safety?
1) Ensure no lab workers will be at risk of getting hurt
