Abstract:
Background: Implementing safety and personnel management procedures in medical laboratories reduces the risks expected during work Objectives: The current study aimed to evaluate safety and personnel practices in medical laboratories in Wad Medani City, Sudan Methods: A cross-sectional analytical design based on the participation of medical laboratories during the period from 2019 to 2020 was followed, the included population was seven government medical laboratories and nine private medical laboratories. Research data was collected using a detailed questionnaire designed to be answered by study participants. Computerized analysis program SPSS (version 20) used for percentage calculation Results: the percentage of safety requirements was between 12.5% and 56.5%, and the average rate was 34.68% while for personnel management was between 25% and 68.75% with average of 43.75%. The level of workers' awareness of the safety guidelines provided by the World Health Organization reached only 43.7%.
