| Summary: | This study was conducted to assess the risks that associated with control of chemical
hazardous to health used in medical laboratories at Pusat Pengajian Sains Perubatan
(PPSP) Universiti Sains Malaysia, Kubang Kerian. Most of the PPSP laboratories
contain more hundreds of chemical hazardous to health that used for laboratory work
and also for research. A part from the medical laboratory, the chemical are used by the student and laboratory workers and categorized as chemical hazardous to health along with other chemicals less hazardous to health during their research project and thenwork.
The study is based on the observations of workers, researcher, and students to
conduct research in PPSP laboratories. The primary parameters are used to analyze the
risks including exposure of chemicals, hazard and risk levels. The method used in this
study is based on the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA). This study found
that laboratory workers, researchers and students may be exposed to harmful of health
risks arising from the effects of chemical hazardous to health, lack of knowledge in the use of material safety data sheet (MSDS) and personal protective equipment (PPE). |
