First Aid in Medical Lab Technology

 INTRODUCTION The first step towards safety regulations for clinical laboratories was initiated by OSHA(Occupational Safety and Health Administration) and CDC(Centre for Disease Control and prevention) in 1970 when they published numerous safety standards in a clinical set up (1). Later in 1988, OSHA expanded the hazard communication standard to apply to hospital workers, which is frequently referred to as the “lab right to know standard” (1). They insisted that management should be committed to safety of its employees and it should increase health and safety awareness among employees through proper educational programs. HAZARDS Hazards in a clinical laboratory can be broadly classified into chemical hazards, electrical hazards, fire hazards & bio- hazards. CHEMICAL HAZARDS AND ITS MANAGEMENT Common chemical hazards found in a lab are Explosives, Compressed gases, Flammables, Oxidizers, Toxic materials, and Corrosive materials (4). FLAMMABLES: Substances which have a flash point or

  Store Laboratory Glassware Using Lab Equipment Storage The heart of every scientific laboratory beats with precision, and the key to that precision lies in having the right tools at your disposal. Lab glassware is the unsung hero of research, enabling scientists to perform experiments, analyze samples, and ensure accurate results. Whether you're a seasoned researcher or just setting up your own lab, this comprehensive guide will walk you through the essential lab glassware you need to equip your laboratory for success. Beakers : Beakers are a fundamental piece of lab glassware, available in various sizes. They are versatile and used for mixing, heating, and storing liquids. Flasks : Erlenmeyer Flask : The conical shape makes it ideal for mixing and storing liquids, especially when you need to minimize evaporation. Volumetric Flask : Designed for precise volume measurements, these flasks are crucial for preparin
