Laboratoriebrug

Laboratoriebrug, a term used in Danish and Norwegian contexts, refers to the use of laboratory facilities and equipment for scientific, medical, educational, or industrial purposes. The term covers how laboratories are accessed, how work is planned and performed, and how results are documented. It encompasses a range of activities from routine analytical measurements to experimental work and method development, in settings such as universities, hospitals, research institutes, and manufacturing laboratories.

Safety and compliance are core aspects of laboratoriebrug. Laboratories implement hazard assessments, use appropriate PPE, and employ engineering controls such as fume hoods and biosafety cabinets. Handling of chemicals, biological materials, and radioactive sources is governed by local regulations and international standards. Waste management, chemical hygiene, and incident reporting are integral parts of everyday use. In many contexts, facilities operate under frameworks such as GLP, GMP, or ISO 17025 to ensure data quality and traceability.

Equipment and procedures are organized through validated workflows. This includes calibration and maintenance of instruments, quality control checks, documentation of procedures, and version-controlled methods. Access is typically restricted to trained personnel, with supervision for students or temporary staff.

Training and governance programs prepare users for safe and compliant laboratoriebrug, covering emergency procedures, waste disposal, chemical safety, biosafety, and data integrity. Continuous improvement, audits, and risk assessments help maintain safe operations.
