Define and explain briefly the Universal Precautions.

Universal precautions is an approach to infection control to treat all human blood and
certain human body fluids as if they were known to be infectious for HIV, HBV and other
bloodborne pathogens. This is mandated by OSHA in order to not just protect the patients
but also the medical personnel tending to the patients. Universal precautions includes
asking patients about personal and family history of substance abuse and such so the
medical personnel could take precautionary measures.

Draw the following Laboratory Hazards:

a. Biological b. Chemical
c. Electrical d. Fire

e. Radiation f. Environmental
g. Carcinogen h. Corrosive

Define the 5S Principle and correlate it with on how you will maintain a clinical lab
(Japanese and English equivalent)

5S, sometimes referred to as 5s or Five S, refers to five Japanese terms used to describe
the steps of the 5S system of visual management. Each term starts with an S. In Japanese,
the five S's are Seiri, Seiton, Seiso, Seiketsu, and Shitsuke.

In English, the five S's are translated as Sort, Set in Order, Shine, Standardize, and
Sustain.

I will maintain the quality of my clinical laboratory because it is also for the sake of my
business. And with the help of these 5S, it will be easier for me to function better by
making it an easier place to work. This occurs by making spaces make sense, tools and
materials are placed in logical locations based on who needs them, how frequently they're
needed, etc. Spaces are cleaned regularly. Cleaning and organization become habits.
When used correctly, 5S ultimately makes processes safer and more efficient.

Define the Laboratory waste management

Laboratory Waste Management (or waste disposal) include the activities and actions
required to manage waste from its inception to its final disposal. This includes the
collection, transport, treatment and disposal of waste, together with monitoring and
regulation of the waste management process.

A. Segregation
to remove one thing from the presence of another and treat it as a separate entity

B. Storage
the action or method of storing something for future use.

C. Treatment
