Risk Assessment in the Laboratories of the Research Centers Affiliated to Iranian Fisheries Research Organization
Identification of risks in laboratories and trying to create safe conditions is very important from different aspects. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the potential risks in the laboratories of three research centers affiliated to Iranian Fisheries Science Research Institute. In order to assess and classify risks associated with working in the laboratories (11 laboratories of the Persian Gulf and Oman Sea Ecological Research Center, 9 laboratories of National Shrimp Research Center and 2 laboratories of National Aquatic Organisms Processing Center), the method of "Failure Mode Effects Analysis" (FMEA) as well as some statistical methods were used. The risk levels in all the laboratories of the Persian Gulf and Oman Sea Ecological Research Center, except for benthos laboratory, could be evaluated as moderate or high. Only in the case of the sample preparation laboratory, significant differences between the values of RPN before and after corrective action could be observed. However, in this case the corrective actions have not been effective in decreasing the risk level. In most laboratories of National Shrimp Research Center, the corrective actions were effective in reducing the risk levels (with the exception of three laboratories including contaminants, microbiology and chemistry-physics). In both laboratories of National Aquatic Organisms Processing Center, after the corrective actions, the risk levels have been sharply reduced. In general it can be concluded that FMEA is an effective method for risk assessment in the research laboratories and appropriate statistical methods can also be used for complementary analysis.

| Summary: | Identification of risks in laboratories and trying to create safe conditions is very important from different aspects.
The main objective of this study was to evaluate the potential risks in the laboratories of three research centers
affiliated to Iranian Fisheries Science Research Institute.
In order to assess and classify risks associated with working in the laboratories (11 laboratories of the Persian
Gulf and Oman Sea Ecological Research Center, 9 laboratories of National Shrimp Research Center and 2
laboratories of National Aquatic Organisms Processing Center), the method of "Failure Mode Effects Analysis"
(FMEA) as well as some statistical methods were used.
The risk levels in all the laboratories of the Persian Gulf and Oman Sea Ecological Research Center, except for
benthos laboratory, could be evaluated as moderate or high. Only in the case of the sample preparation
laboratory, significant differences between the values of RPN before and after corrective action could be
observed. However, in this case the corrective actions have not been effective in decreasing the risk level. In
most laboratories of National Shrimp Research Center, the corrective actions were effective in reducing the risk
levels (with the exception of three laboratories including contaminants, microbiology and chemistry-physics).
In both laboratories of National Aquatic Organisms Processing Center, after the corrective actions, the risk levels
have been sharply reduced.
In general it can be concluded that FMEA is an effective method for risk assessment in the research laboratories
and appropriate statistical methods can also be used for complementary analysis. |
