Laboratories can be crowded spaces with workers often sharing assets and facilities and high traffic areas where there is a risk of contamination. While laboratories will already have strict procedures in place to minimise the risk of cross-contamination on a daily basis, these protocols may end up being breached if samples and equipment are being moved to another laboratory or are involved in a relocation. Planning sample and equipment transfer When planning to transfer items from one location to another, whether it is part of a long-distance relocation project or a move within the same building, it is important to put a detailed plan together. This plan should include a comprehensive risk assessment and minimising the potential for cross-contamination should be a key priority.
