Histopathology laboratory can be considered very hazardous because of the presence of chemicals, equipment, fire, etc. Hence, the hazards that are generally present in a histopathology laboratory are chemical, physical, electrical, and biological hazards.
– Chemical hazards occur during improper use and poor storage. The usual chemical in the histopathology laboratory is Formalin which can is considered a human carcinogen, allergen, and irritant.
– As for physical hazards, these occur when sharps and needles, machines, and poor housekeeping are present.
– Electrical hazards are due to faulty electrical equipment, damaged connectors, and improper use of flexible extension cords.
– Biological hazards include aerosols, prions, and blood. One way to counteract these hazards is through proper use of protective gear; a full mask on when using the centrifuge with fluids.
