Sample Taker'S Failsafe

SAMPLE TAKER’S FAILSAFE

All sample takers are required to keep a personal log of all samples taken either in paper form or easily accessible

electronic form. “NHSCSP Publication 21 Guidelines on Failsafe Actions 5.2”. The last four columns can only be

completed when the result is received and checked. When only electronic results are received by someone other

than the sample taker, this failsafe log is a reminder for the sample taker to check and record all results.
