Standardizing Hazard Signage in the Laboratory Research Division of the Research Institute for Tropical Medicine
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Old signage faced iconography, variable layouts, visual presentations, and contents, as well as degradation issues, undermine the effectiveness of hazard communication in the laboratory. A 2016 project was initiated to standardize all hazard signages at the Laboratory Research Division of the Research Institute for Tropical Medicine (RITM), incorporating standard colors and iconography for better compliance and safety. As part of a broader initiative to enhance biorisk practices within the institute, there are plans for improvement and expansion to non-laboratory areas.
