All reagents and products in a lab should be clearly labeled. All facilities should develop plans on how to deal with emergencies. Proper preplanning can save lives and property. Examples of emergency plan topics could include subjects such as fire, explosion, flood, spills into the sewer system, chemical releases, severe weather, medical emergencies, or other natural and manmade disasters. It is a good idea to occasionally test and update plans, especially where plans involve the interaction of several agencies or groups.
Medical information is a private matter and needs to be kept confidential.
Coordinate where you would keep employee information sheets and the needed information with emergency medical personnel. Chaos, confusion and panic are some of the elements that may accompany an emergency, proper planning can reduce or eliminate tragic circumstances. Anticipate and expect the UN-expected.
