Joy knows that observation of the following laboratory practices is correct.
  1. Containment is effective when standard microbiological procedures are often observed and followed.
  2. Personnel working with potentially infectious agents should be aware of the potential hazards of handling such specimens.
  3. Training on proper handling of potentially infected samples can be substituted by gaining experience in the laboratory.
  4. The laboratory personnel are responsible for self training on such essential laboratory techniques and principles.
Explanation
Answer: B - Personnel working with potentially infectious agents should be aware of the potential hazards of handling such specimens.
One correct observation of laboratory practices is for the laboratory personnel to be aware of the potential hazards of handling specimens. Containment is only effective when standard microbiological procedures are always strictly followed. Training on proper handling of potentially infected samples can never be substituted by experience and so training is a must. The director of the laboratory is responsible for coordinating the training needs of his or her laboratory personnel.
