| Abstract: | Background: Laboratory practices offer students the opportunity to develop manipulative skills, experimental experience and the capability to plan trials and interpret experimental data. Instead of conventional teaching methods, laboratory experience better for the development of conceptual understanding of sciences. Thus, the absence of safety in the laboratory room can affect the health of students, staff and the environment. Objectives: The aim of this study is to improve safety practices in teaching laboratory rooms of Bule Hora University, Institute of Health, 2021. Methodology: A descriptive survey study was used from November 15 to 20, 2020, among staff at the Bule Hora University Health Institute. From two purposively selected departments, 17 academic staff and lab assistants were enrolled in the study. Data were collected through a self-administered questionnaire and observations. Finally, the data were coded and entered into SPSS version 20 for analysis. Based on the findings of the assessment, action was planned and implemented, and then the improvement was evaluated at the end. Results: Of the respondents, 58.8% did not regularly inspect the safety of laboratory rooms, while 77% did not ever receive training on laboratory safety. The observation revealed that lack of labeling and proper storage of regents, lack cleanliness of work, absence of covering laboratory equipment and lack of waste drainage, good ventilation and water flow were major factors affecting laboratory safety. Conclusion: Implementation during applied research improved laboratory safety, but we conclude that continuous safety management from everyone is needed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
