Lab safety surveys and inspections.
When planning a design we further break down the workflow as moving from a central receiving and processing rap area to specific processes taking place in the molecular stat laboratory bacteriology batch micro molecular a biosafety level 3 laboratory not discussed in this article and.
Workshopping with those who will be using the area themselves is essential since the lab can be tailored to what the research requires and superfluous elements can be quickly identified.
Describe some things to avoid.
Present some examples of using lean to improve operational efficiency.
In addition floor standing centrifuges are noisy and dangerous as are large irradiators and will often require a room with a lockable door.
Present a limited case study of using lean to design a core laboratory.
Depending on the number of analyzers automated systems may involve 50 to 60 feet of linear track bolted to the floor.
Automated testing systems an advancing lab technology is facilitated by open plan lab design.
Laboratory risk assessment tool.
In an automated system analyzers are arranged along a robotic track that operates much like a conveyor belt.
Accident and injury reporting.
Confined space entry program.
Asbestos and other regulated building materials.
Describe some key features of effective lean design.
