Don t hesitate to praise good work, safe practice, improvements, and good ideas. We recommend keeping a record of the results of Audits in the individual laboratories for quick review by staff members. Share the results with the department members. Let each person be responsible for making the necessary changes in their area except where outside assistance in needed. Use the audit report as a checklist to see that the situations are corrected in a reasonable period of time.
Regular audits are one of the cornerstones of a good safety program.
They are a great opportunity to take a good hard look at your working environment to try to spot potential problems. The use of regular audits conducted by you, the laboratorian, is to enhance your work environment and to become more conscious of Laboratory Safety.
