If mistakes occur, the lab protocols must be altered to prevent the mistakes.
If personnel can not or will not follow protocol to eliminate mistakes, then employment must be terminated. This is not being "picky" or unreasonable - ask any potential cancer patient relying on an accurate diagnosis.

If they were written up 3 times in 6 months, then a suspension was possible (although never happens), then if the problem continued could lead to being fired. So, basically you would have to mislabel something or another 6 times in one year to be fired. Again...just my opinion...
