post signs stating that workers should wash their hands after eating in the lab.
keep the temperature at around 85°f
keep furniture in good repair.
provide an insect - free environment.
clean the office weekly.

Explanation:

• "Post signs stating that workers should wash their hands after eating in the lab": Handwashing reduces microbial transfer, promoting asepsis.
• "Keep furniture in good repair": Damaged furniture can harbor dirt/germs; good repair prevents this, aiding asepsis.
• "Provide an insect - free environment": Insects can carry pathogens; eliminating them reduces contamination risk.
• "Clean the office weekly": Regular cleaning removes dirt, dust, and microbes, maintaining an aseptic environment.
• "Keep the temperature at around 85°F": High temperature (85°F) can promote microbial growth, so this is incorrect.

Answer:

• Post signs stating that workers should wash their hands after eating in the lab.
• Keep furniture in good repair.
• Provide an insect - free environment.
• Clean the office weekly.
