7.11. Decontamination procedures Routine
Routine:
At the end of each test, or at least each day, disinfect lab benches and any equipment.
Spills:
Small spills of biohazard material should be treated by first covering them with an absorbent paper
to avoid the formation of aerosols. Disinfect the spill by slowly pouring on a disinfecting solution
working from the outside to the centre of the spill in a circular motion. Leave the spill long enough
for disinfection to take place (check decontaminating instructions on the disinfectant container for
time) and then carefully wipe up, use protection gloves.
 Pick up any glass using forceps.
 Once all the material has been removed disinfect the area thoroughly.
 Inform the Technician in Charge of the spill.

according the regulations.

 Dispose blood tubes into a biohazard sharps container.
