42 CFR 493.1235 and 493.1451 refers to " personnel requirements that must be met by laboratories performing moderate complexity testing, PPM, high complexity testing or any combination of these tests" and the 6 required elements. Nothing about people who only carry products from the lab to the patient. I think, perhaps, this was a misunderstanding of competency requirements by the assessor and I would challenge the citation.1 point

We have training for the folks that courier blood initial and an annual module with some key questions. In my years, I have seen folks carry blood to the cafeteria and put it on their food tray, stick it in a pocket and go take a smoke break, leave it on a nursing station counter and not notify the proper people..... They are also required to know how to perform a read back check and why this is so important.1 point
