Summary
Lab workers at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary were exposed to a dangerous Hazard Group Three biological agent due to incomplete patient sample information, prompting the Health and Safety Executive to issue an improvement notice to NHS Grampian. The health board has accepted the notice, pledged to fix systems, and apologized to affected staff — all while confirming no public or patient risk. With a deadline of January 28, 2027, the case underscores the non-negotiable need for rigorous safety protocols in healthcare labs.
