OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY REGULATIONS IN VETERINARY LABORATOIES

Abstract

Veterinary laboratories play a crucial role in diagnosing diseases, performing research, and ensuring the well-being of animals. However, like any workplace involving potentially hazardous materials and procedures, these laboratories must adhere to strict occupational health and safety (OHS) regulations to protect employees, animals, and the surrounding environment. The implementation of effective OHS regulations in veterinary laboratories is essential to prevent workplace accidents, reduce exposure to infectious agents, and ensure a safe working environment.
