During industrial training, I experienced many things that related to the job. I started work at the counter. There, my work was to check the entire sample and the specimen so that only those that follow the criteria will be accepted. All the specimens must be sent in a right container followed by a request form. All request form must be filled completely followed by the signature of the doctor. The containers must be labeled completely. Specimens are rejected if for examples, the blood is haemolysed, no form/specimen accompanying each other, insufficient blood sent for analysis, specimen sent in wrong container, specimen is unsuitable for analysis, mislabeling of specimen/form, test requested is not offered, insufficient particulars filled request form and other valid reasons. Therefore, I had to check everything carefully. The containers for specimens can be obtained from the counter in the pathology department.
