O The surface of the biological safety cabinet should be wiped using an appropriate disinfectant after work is completed and at the end of the d ay。 11. The cabinet fan should be run for at least 5 min before beginning work and after completion of work in the cabinet 12. Paperwork should never be placed inside biological safety cabinets

Avoiding ingestion of infectious materials and contact with SkIn and eyes 1. Large particles and droplets( 5 Hm in diameter) released during microbiological manipulations settle rapidly on bench surfaces and on the hands of the operator. Disposable gloves should be worn. Laboratory workers should avoid touching their mouth, eyes and face

2. Food and drink must not be consumed or stored in the laboratory. 3. No articles should be placed in the mouth- pens, pencils, chewing gum-in the laboratory. 4. Cosmetics should not be applied in the laboratory. 5. The face, eyes and mouth should be shielded or otherwise protected during any operation that may result in the splashing of potentially infectious materials

Avoiding injection of infectious materials 1. Accidental inoculation resulting from injury with broken or chipped glassware can be avoided through careful practices and procedures. Glassware should be replaced with plastic ware whenever possible. 2. Accidental injection may result from sharps injuries e. g. with hypodermic needles(needle-sticks), glass Pasteur pipettes, or broken glass

3. Needle-stick injuries can be reduced by:(a) minimizing the use of syringes and needles(e.g. simple devices are available for opening septum-stoppered bottles so that pipettes can be used instead of syringes and needles; or(b)using engineered sharp safety devices when syringes and needles are necessary 4. Needles should never be recapped Disposable articles should be discarded into puncture-proof/puncture resistant containers fitted with covers 5. Plastic Pasteur pipettes should replace those made of glass
