Developing Emergency Response Frameworks for Infectious and Hazardous Sample Spills in Saudi Laboratories

Abstract

With an eye towards the Saudi healthcare sector especially, this research investigates the effectiveness of spill response systems in laboratory settings. Examining the need of organized response strategies for managing chemical, biological, and hazardous material spills helps one to lower threats to laboratory personnel and the surroundings. The study underlines the need of lab staff members obtaining continuous training and expertise as well as the need of following local legislation and international safety criteria. The findings of this study indicate that tightening laboratory safety procedures particularly in the healthcare sector will help Saudi Arabia to meet general safety criteria.All of which lead to better laboratory operations improving safety, reducing environmental contamination, and minimizing institutional liability demand strengthening of spill response strategies.More research and financing in spill prevention and response systems will determine long-term safety and sustainability of laboratory activities.
