| Abstract |
This medical thesis deals with the principal hazards in hospital laboratories and their prevention. Aspects covered: risk of infection; hazards in the manipulation of chemicals or radiochemicals (radioimmunochemicals are frequently encountered in these laboratoires); general fire, explosion and electrocution hazards; hazards in animal rooms and laundries. Preventive measures include both the design of facilities and their operation in accordance with good hygienic practice; relevant French regulations are presented. The occupational physician has an important part to play in the prevention of accident and disease as well as in the observation and information of personnel. |
