The design of an in vitro fertilization (IVF) laboratory and its importance in risk prevention: applicability of UV radiation

Abstract

This study addressed the environmental control of an IVF laboratory and the potential repercussions that the presence of certain physical, chemical and biological agents could have on workers' health or on the tasks they carried out. The design of the laboratory and its facilities contributed to an improvement in work qualityand minimised the environmental-related risks. The preventive measures adopted had an influence on the carried out actions.
