Risk Management and Safety in the Histopathologic Laboratory – YouTubeReferences:Histopathologic Techniques by Jocelyn H. Bruce-Gregorios, MDAll additional videos credits to each of its corresponding owners.No copyright infring…
Instrumentation used in Histopath labs are useful and expensive, they require extra care when handling. Thanks to autotechnicon, we are able to work much faster and more precisely, increasing accuracy of the test results.
Moreover, there must be complete files for every equipment. It must include manufacturer details, record of maintenance and a copy of the operating manual. Quality control was also mentioned in the video. Before releasing results, the quality and staining of sections must be checked. Quality assessment ensures that there are no random or systematic error present while the specimen was being analyzed. SOP’s by the accrediting/regulatory agencies ensures lab safety.
Storage of hazardous chemicals, handling spills, knowing how to do first aid, are skills and techniques a medical technician should have. Handling potentially infectious specimens – all specimens must be treated as potentially infectious/pathologic. Grossing of specimens has the highest risk of all histological activities. Fixed tissues are less infectious because they have been deactivated by the reagents used in fixation (except prions). Aerosols created while processing may also be a way for lab workers to be infected with pathogens. Thus, the use of BSCs should be used when handling level 2-3 agents and strong chemicals.
Lastly, there are also hazards in handling of common histological chemicals as they may cause irritation, corrosiveness, flammability, etc. when exposed to. Presence of mind, carefulness should always be a practice.
