Good Laboratory Practice
Storage of samples in the proper
container
Wearing of access cards
Use of PPE
Laboratory temperature
monitoring
Yellow tips in key areas
Having a Safety Data Sheet (SDS)
Importance
Since samples are highly sensitive
and highly perishable, the
laboratory has to maintain the
integrity of pharmaceutical and
biological materials by storing
them properly.
This is to ensure that only
authorized staff will be able to
access a particular area.
PPEs are worn to minimize
exposure to hazards that cause
serious workplace injuries and
illnesses.
Keeps the lab at an appropriate
temperature for tests to be
accurate and reliable.
Reminds outsiders they can’t go
beyond that yellow tip.
SDSs provide useful information
on chemicals, describing the
hazards the chemical presents,
and giving information on
handling, storage and emergency
measures in case of an accident.
Benefits
It helps ensure that the
samples are receiving the
highest level of care and
helps avoid jeopardizing
their integrity.
Protects a facility from
unauthorized access.
Workers are protected from
chemical exposures and
other hazards.
Helps maintain a safe
environment.
Keeps outsiders away from
areas that only authorized
personnel can enter.
Enables lab personnel to
know the valuable
information about specific
chemicals substances and how
to safely handle them.
