Frequently Asked Questions
It is a framework prioritizing engineering controls, administrative controls, and work practices ahead of PPE, which the course treats as the last line of defense.
Proper attire, gloves, hearing protection, eye and face protection, and respirators are all addressed for laboratory-specific hazards.
The Hierarchy of Controls places engineering and administrative measures ahead of PPE, since PPE addresses only the risk that remains once those measures are in place.
It is built for laboratory employees who need a comprehensive understanding of hazards present in lab environments and how PPE mitigates them.
Yes, it also includes hearing protection and respirators, giving a fuller picture of PPE options beyond hand and eye protection alone.
