Laboratories risks evaluation in national fish processing research center laboratories

Abstract

Risks assessment of laboratories of National Fish Processing Research Center was done in 2014 and 2015 to determine the risk factors, potential risks and provide action plans to prevent the occurrence of any risks and increasing awareness of staff to safety issues. All laboratories: Chemistry, Microbiology, sensitive assessment and physical were visited and all factors were evaluated. The method for evaluation was with Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) methods. The assessment process was designed and implemented in two phases, the first phase was the current situation of safety indexes, risks identification and distance to laboratory safety parameters included: working environment, physical factors, test methods and the human factors were done, then risk assessment and risk management of identified risks were followed by check list forms. The second phase was based on the findings, control measures and safety guidelines were done and provided. the highest risk score related to Microbiology laboratory with RPN 540 and then chemistry 360, because of the nature of sensory laboratory was not evaluated and There was no experiments in the physics laboratory and was ignored. After control measures, the risk number of laboratories decreased as follows: Microbiology to 18, chemistry to 12
