Abstract:
Fourteenth chapter is divided into two parts. In the first, the occupational hazards that threaten the life and health of workers in medicine laboratories and the basic principles of good laboratory practice are briefly described. The types of laboratory risks, prevention measures and necessary medical surveillance are also presented. The second part describes the basic principles of good management of health care waste. The types of waste generated in health care establishments and the methods of storage, transport and final disposal are presented. Finally, an example of an Emergency Plan for dealing with accidents, both during waste management and in cases of injury to staff, is given.
