Dominant Factors Associated with Biosafety Facility and Equipment in Laboratories: An Indonesian 2011 Study
The availability of facility and completeness of equipments of biosafety in laboratories is esensial in creating safe working environment for laboratories personnel.
The aim of this study was to identify the dominant factors related to completeness of personal protective equipment (PPE), availability of biosafety cabinet, and availability of sterilization room in laboratories. Methods: Data analysis using a part of data of Rifaskes 2011 on clinical laboratories. Cox regression was conducted to identify the dominant factors related to completeness of personal protective equipment (PPE), availability of biosafety cabinet, and availability of sterilization room.
From 782 laboratories, there were 769 laboratories with complete data and may be analyzed. We note that very few (15%) first class laboratories and accredited laboratories was 9.9% only. In term of laboratory classification, the first class compared with second and third class laboratories had higher chance having complete PPE, biosafety cabinet, and availability of sterilization room. In addition, the accredited laboratory compared with not accredited laboratory had almost 3 times having complete PPE (RRa = 2.94; P = 0.000), and had almost 4 times having biosafety cabinet (RRa = 3.94; P = 0.000), and had 37% more chance having sterilization room (RRa = 1.37; P = 0.008).
Laboratory classification and accreditation were dominant factors related to availability of facility and completeness of equipments of biosafety in laboratories. (Health Science Indones 2013;1:1-6)
