In addition, laboratories should be divided into clean areas and non-clean areas to prevent cross-contamination. The laboratory should be equipped with necessary personal protective equipment, such as laboratory clothes, gloves and goggles, to reduce the potential risks of staff.
In terms of laboratory facilities, the staircase design should comply with the current national laws and regulations, and the staircase width should be designed reasonably. Stairs frequented by researchers and experimenters should have a step width of not less than 0.28m and a height of not more than 0. 17m. The elevator should be installed in the laboratory building with four or more floors.
The safety management requirements of food inspection laboratory cover site selection, overall layout, equipment management, personal protection and other aspects, so as to provide a safe and suitable experimental environment for staff.
Take the project of Chongqing Food and Drug Inspection and Testing Institute as an example. The project is divided into two phases. The main content of the first stage is the food inspection and testing center. Due to the "3-shaped" orientation of the whole building, Big Oak Group distributes the passenger elevator and the cargo elevator in the middle position, and skillfully divides the laboratory area and the office area according to its overall regional characteristics, and flexibly separates them within a certain range. At the same time, according to the requirements of the project laboratory, Big Oak Group generally divides the laboratory into chemical laboratory, physical laboratory and microbial laboratory to ensure the orderly work of the laboratory.
