Biological hazard safety
WARNING!
Potential Biohazard.
Depending on the samples used on this
instrument, the surface may be considered a biohazard. Use appropriate
decontamination methods when working with biohazards.
WARNING!
BIOHAZARD.
Biological samples such as tissues, body fluids,
infectious agents, and blood of humans and other animals have the potential to
transmit infectious diseases. Conduct all work in properly equipped facilities with the
appropriate safety equipment (for example, physical containment devices). Safety
equipment can also include items for personal protection, such as gloves, coats,
gowns, shoe covers, boots, respirators, face shields, safety glasses, or goggles.
Individuals should be trained according to applicable regulatory and company/
institution requirements before working with potentially biohazardous materials.
Follow all applicable local, state/provincial, and/or national regulations. The following
references provide general guidelines when handling biological samples in laboratory
environment.
