Abstract
TIS 2677–2558 is a standard used by laboratories to manage chemicals and promote the development of safety management systems. Pediatric laboratories play a crucial role in providing analytical services for patients and utilizing of chemicals for analysis, research, and educational activities, whether hazardous or non-hazardous. Inadequate management poses risks to laboratory personnel, communities, and the environment. After implementing the system, the pediatric laboratory achieved a score of 92.7% for chemical data management, 96.2% for chemical storage, and 100% for chemical transportation. Therefore, pediatric laboratories adopt TIS 2677–2558 safety management systems to enhance staff knowledge, understanding, and awareness of workplace safety. This, in turn, improves adherence to operational guidelines and facilitates the future utilization of laboratory data for quality management.
