Labelling

Biological safety cabinets, sensitive and hazardous chemicals used for disinfection in healthcare should always carry labels. It allows easy identification and safe handling. Unknown chemicals pose unpredictable hazards.
Biohazard warning symbols and signs should be added to the labels.

Storage

Storing the chemicals used for disinfection in a medical lab in a planned manner avoids high-risk situations.
