policies
these are plans that establish a requires method of handling future activities
procedures
- truly to guide actions that to think and detail the exact manner in which a certain activity must be accomplished
the setting of a long term goals and objectives for the no. and types of personnel needed to meet the labor requirement of the lab
staffing process
matching people presently working in the lab with current workload requirements
scheduling process
steps in making schedule
- plan a schedule management
- define activities
- sequence activities
- estimate activity resources
- estimate activity durations
- develop schedule
What is the basis for staffing and scheduling in an 8-hour shift system?
based on the demand for workers and the availability of personnel.
During which shift are the most workers usually assigned?
first 8-hour shift (usually daytime), because it’s the busiest.
- it is the largest no. of personnel scheduled in the first shit as demand is highest during that time
- extra staff can be added at night shift if needed esp during emergencies
it is a cross-disciplinary area concerned with protecting the health and safety of people engaged in work or employment
occupational health and safety
- as a sec effect, it may also protect
- coworkers
- fam members
- employers
- customers
- suppliers
- nearby communities
- other members of public
who are impacted by the workplace environment
in safety management, what is the role of an
- individual
- employer
INDIVIDUAL
- must alw be responsible for his/ her safety
- must follow rules and use equipment properly
- ensure the workplace is safe
EMPLOYER
- make sure that employees have proper training, support, equipment, woarkload, resources and enviro
- ensure that the workplace is safe
what are the structural requirements in safety factors shld be considered in the
- design and layout of the building
- floor plan layout and workplace design
design and layout of the building:
1. entrance and exit route
2. blockage of hallways and doors
3. location of sprinkles and fire extinguisher
4. storage of flammable materials
5. ventilation system
floor plan layout and workplace design
1. separate clinic and administrative offices from areas with hazardous materials
2. shld hv a system in the delivery and storage of potentially hazardous materials
3. proper ventilation system
4. accessible of special safety equipment fume hoods and first aid stations
hazard vs risk
hazard: something that has the potential to harm you
[A chemical that can burn your skin
A wet floor that could make someone slip
A broken glass that can cut you]
risk: likelihood of a hazard causing harm
[If the chemical is left open near people, the risk of skin burns is high.
If the wet floor is in a hallway, the risk of slipping is high.]
Think of it this way:
🔥 A fire is a hazard.
🔥 Standing near it with no protection is a high risk.
🔥 Watching it safely from far away is a low risk.
briefly explain the hazards in the lab
(PPT)
BIOLOGICAL
- infectious caused by microorganism
SHARP
- needles, lancets, broken glasses
CHEMICAL
RADIOACTIVE
- radioisotopes are used in the procedure
- amt of radioactivity present in the lab is v. small and not dangerous . however the effects f radiaion are cumulative related to the amt of exposure
ELECTRICAL
PHYSICAL
these are any material that could possibly become contaminated with blood; must be treated as having potential to carry a pathogen transmitted by blood
BBP
what are the methods of compliance/ protective measure and procedure
- adopt UPP, universal precaution policy
- barrier protection
- gloves
- face protection
- protective body clothing
- wash hands
- avoid accidental injuries
- proper disposal - engineering and work practice controls
- personal protective equipment
- housekeeping techniques
it is a garment covering the whole hand
gloves
- usually hv separate sheaths or openings for each finger and thumb
- latex, nitril, rubber or vinyl disposal
eye and face protection must be worn when potential exists for what contamination
mucous membrane

it is intended to be worn by healthcare procedures to present infections in patients and treating personnel by catching bacteria shed in liquid droplets and aerosols from the wearer’s mouth and nose
mask

agency responsible for developing and enforcing regulations governing safety in the workplace
OSHA
a doc required by OSHA detailing safety info abt each hazardous substances

what shd be done if there is a chemical spill on a skin
flush the area w large amt of water
remove contaminated clothing
what are the chemical labels
poisonous
corrosive
carcinogen
flammable
how should you handle chemicals
chemicals shld never mixed tgt
shld be added in the order specified in the instructions
