 Examples of best standard practice

 a)   An assessment of the premises has been carried out to ensure that they are appropriate for the purpose.

  • Risk assessments should be performed to cover all aspects of storage and use of relevant material. 

  • Risk assessments should be reviewed at defined intervals (every 1-3 years) or when changes to the premises may affect the risks.

 b)  Arrangements are in place to ensure that the premises are secure and confidentiality is maintained.

  • Fridges/freezers/cabinets are locked when in areas accessible to general laboratory personnel.

 c)  There are documented cleaning and decontamination procedures.

  • Cleaning and decontamination of premises should be scheduled and recorded. 

  • Responsibility for performing cleaning and decontamination should be assigned to suitable individuals.
