All fresh specimens should be handled carefully, since each specimen represents a potential source of infectious material. Safety precautions should include proper labeling of fixatives; specific areas designated for specimen handling (biological safety cabinets may be necessary under certain circumstances); proper containers for centrifugation; acceptable discard policies; appropriate policies for no eating, drinking, or smoking within the working areas; and, if applicable, correct techniques for organism culture and/or animal inoculation. In general, standard precautions as outlined by the Occupational Safety and Health Act must be followed when applicable, particularly when one is handling blood and other body fluids.
