Thus, establishment of efficient regulations and safe habits toward workplace safety is crucial to prevent or minimize such accidents.

Methods

An anonymous cross-sectional survey was conducted on a random sample of 185 students and workers. The survey was categorized into five sections: (1) variable demographic items, (2) orientation around the warning signage of medical laboratory picogra
