1. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE): Gloves, gowns, masks, and eye protection should be worn to prevent contact with potentially infectious materials. 2. Handle specimens carefully: Avoid splashing, spilling, or aerosolizing specimens. Use leak-proof containers and handle them with care. 3. Label specimens clearly: Ensure that specimens are clearly labeled with the patient's name, date, and type of specimen. This will help prevent mix-ups and ensure proper handling. 4. Dispose of specimens properly: Place used specimens in designated biohazard containers for proper disposal. Do not discard specimens in regular trash cans or down the drain.
