title: Safety in the clinical laboratory.
abstract: There are many hazards in the clinical laboratory that could result in injury, illness, or loss of property. Many of these hazards are common to the home and a wide variety of working environments; others are unique toi the laboratory. Since control and prevention of occupational illness and injury depends on recognizing their causes and taking timely and appropriate corrective action, this article presents a basic program for protecting the health and safety of clinical laboratorians. It consists of three parts: hazard identification, control measures, and accountability.
