Abstract
Introduction: The prevention of occupational hazards in laboratories requires a thorough knowledge of the risks and practical measures to be taken. Universal work precautions involve the use of protective barriers such as gloves, gowns, aprons, masks, or protective eyewear, which can reduce the risk of the health care worker’s skin or mucous membranes to potentially infective materials.Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study of laboratory personnel was conducted using a pre-tested self-administered questionnaire which enquired about knowledge, attitude, and practices of 40 laboratory personnel toward universal work precautions. Results: The knowledge and awareness among laboratory personnel was poor and requires intervention. Conclusion: It can be concluded that laboratory personnel are inadequately aware of their occupational hazards and more programs should be conducted to help them understand and fully be aware of the same.
