LABORATORY SAFETYThe laboratory should be kept NEAT,CLEAN & FREE of materials that are notpertinent to the workBlood Born DiseasesHow do MLTs get infected with bloodborne pathogens?Blood Borne Pathogens Pathogens are infectious microorganisms inhuman blood & other body fluids that cancause disease in humans Blood & body fluids pose the greatest threatto health in a laboratory The most common examples are humanimmunodeficiency virus (HIV), Hepatitis B &Hepatitis C Most recent is the Ebola Viral Disease (EVD) We do NOT know which blood is contaminated with whatpathogens. Therefore, the standard medical practice regardsall blood & body fluid as potentially infectious Transmission in the laboratory can occur through:– a break in the skin (e.g. a cut, a needle-prick injury or injury fromsharp object, cracked skin, etc.)– contact with a mucous membrane found in your eye, nose or mouth Open cuts & broken skins must be covered with a suitableprotection & seek medical advice if necessary15 P a g e 4 1

Universal Precaution All laboratories must practice Universal Precaution with a set of strategiesdeveloped to prevent transmission of blood borne pathogens MLTs are strongly encouraged to undergo Hepatitis B Screening & if necessary to getthe Hepatitis B immunization. Your record on the immunization shall be maintained MLTs will be provided with personal protective equipment to protect them from theabove exposurePersonal Protective Equipment (PPE)16 P a g e 4 1

In theevent that any part of this procedure is unclear, please contact the Safety Committee members.31 P a g e 4 1

EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLANIn the event of an emergency, or upon notification of fire, fire alarm or upon orders of an authorityhaving jurisdiction, buildings or structures, Fire Marshall shall be immediately evacuated oroccupants shall be relocated in accordance with established plans.Should an emergency occur and there is no notification, either by alarm or by someone in authority,an individual who feels the need to evacuate should relocate themselves in accordance withprocedures contained in the emergency plan for the building or structure in which they inhabit. Thisdoes not mean that individuals should go home. They should assemble in the designated emergencyarea and wait for further instruction from designated emergency personnel.Each employee has a responsibility when an emergency occurs to evaluate, notify and implement theemergency response plan. Evaluation involves an immediate assessment of the circumstances todetermine the nature of the emergency. Immediately notify appropriate emergency and companypersonnel, including the Floor Warden(s), Fire Marshals or Safety Officer.Then prepare to implement the department emergency plan, as well as follow all instructions ofpolice, fire, medical, EH&S, or other authorized emergency personnel.PROCEDURES IN CASE OF FIRE1. You discover a fire:1.1. Help people in immediate danger1.2. Warn others by shouting “Fire, Fire, Fire”, raise the alarm if not yet already sounding andtelephone 999.1.3. Decide if you can put the fire out, if you are not sure, do not attempt to.1.4. Don’t attempt to use a fire extinguisher if you have never been instructed on how to use one.1.5. If you can put out the fire then do so, if not proceed to evacuate the building.1.6. Inform the Security Department of the fire location and details2. You hear the fire alarm ringing; you must prepare to evacuate the building:2.1. Switch off all computers, printers and electrical appliances.2.2. Close all windows and doors.2.3. Gather your personal belongings in preparation to immediately evacuate the building.2.4. Organize/help other people in the room.2.5. Evacuate the building and proceed to the assembly area:2.6. Move at a quick walk, do not run2.7. DO NOT PANIC3. If you have to move through a closed door that you cannot see through:3.1. Feel the door to see if it is hot;3.2. Look for smoke coming under the door;3.3. Open the door slowly and look around it to see if there is a fire behind it;3.4. If there is no fire on the other side, proceed through and close the door behind you;3.5. Walk down the fire escape staircase to the ground floor.32 P a g e 4 1

3.6. If the smoke is too thick, get under the smoke by crawling. You should be able to see whereyou are going;3.7. Move to the assembly areas quick as possible;3.8. Report to your Marshal that you/your group is there and if you know of anyone trapped inthe building;3.9. Remain in the assembly area until you are informed that you may leave or move by eitherthe Marshal or a member of the Safety Committee.4. You notice someone on the verge of panic:4.1. Give them a task or responsibility;4.2. The person will still require constant monitoring;4.3. Do not hit them;4.4.

If you open the window remember toclose it again as this can be an entry point for fire. Do not open the window up fully;5.7. If the room is filling with smoke, stay close to the ground. The air is cooler and oxygen ismore plentiful in this region;5.8. Wait for the Fire and Rescue Service to rescue you.6. Do not procrastinate: REMEMBER6.1. Fires spread rapidly;6.2. Fires produce thick black smoke that is difficult to see through and causes suffocation;6.3. The freshest air will always be near the floor;6.4. Move quickly. Do not run;6.5. Be decisive;6.6. Think for 10 to 30 seconds;6.7. Make a decision and follow that decision.33 P a g e 4 1

MOBILITY IMPAIRED PEOPLEIf you encounter a person with some form of physical disability that restricts their mobility, you maybe required to assist them from the building. If you are unable to remove them from the buildingmany stairwells have respite areas for mobility impaired persons. They can be left here, where theyare shielded from the fire, and retrieved by emergency personnel on arrival. It is important to informthe emergency personnel of their location so that they can be retrieved as soon as possible. Leavethe person's mobility aids behind; they can always be claimed on insurance.USE OF FIRE EXTINGUISHERSUse extinguishers on small fires ONLY if safe to do so – use the P-A-S-S method Pull the pin in the handleAim at the BASE of the fireSqueeze the nozzle, while employing aSweeping (Sway) motion, from side to sideHANDLING THE NEWS MEDIAStaff members should not discuss emergency situations with the news media. All enquiries should beforwarded to the Chairman of OSH. This is to ensure that the media is furnished with accurateinformation and additional copycat incidents or crank calls are not precipitated by irresponsiblestatements from uniformed sources.34 P a g e 4 1
