What type of room is a Secondary Engineering Control (SEC)?

  1. Buffer room

  2. Cleanroom suite

  3. Segregated compounding area

  4. Anteroom

The correct answer is: Buffer room

A Secondary Engineering Control (SEC) is a designed room where hazardous compounds are ventilated to ensure worker safety and protect the environment. This type of room may also contain filtration systems or scrubbers to remove any harmful particles from the air. A buffer room, anteroom, and segregated compounding area are not appropriate for this purpose. A buffer room typically serves as a transition space between two controlled environments, while an anteroom is used as a small room before entering a larger one. A segregated compounding area is a designated space for making sterile compounds. Therefore, the correct answer is A Buffer room.
