Laboratory Quality Management System (LQMS)

Laboratory Quality Management System

• The primary focus of the 12 elements of a laboratory quality management system is to ensure laboratory safety and quality.

Laboratory Safety

• Developing safety procedures in laboratories is important to prevent future accidents and injuries.
• A significant source of potential injury to laboratory staff is laboratory equipment.
• Examples of potential hazards related to laboratory equipment include autoclaves and centrifuges.
• Laboratory workers do encounter risks in their work, making safety procedures crucial.
• Keeping a record of staff exposures to hazards is necessary for laboratory safety.
