Safety & ComplianceQuestion 51 of 100
Which labeling is required on a container used to transport blood specimens off the collection floor?
a.A biohazard symbol or red color coding identifying the contents as infectious
b.The phlebotomist's name only
c.No labeling is required if the lid is closed
d.A handwritten note that says fragile
Explanation
Containers holding blood or other potentially infectious material must carry the biohazard label or be red color coded so anyone handling them knows the risk. A fragile note or a staff name conveys nothing about infectious hazard. A closed lid contains the specimen but does not warn the next handler.
