Description
This course emphasizes the critical importance of hazard awareness and control measures within a laboratory setting. Participants will explore various hazards, including chemical exposures, biological risks, fire and explosion hazards, and more. The course guides learners through the Hierarchy of Controls, highlighting the prioritization of engineering controls, administrative controls, work practices, and personal protective equipment to ensure a comprehensive approach to workplace safety. Understand the Hierarchy of Controls and differentiate between engineering controls, administrative controls, work practices, and personal protective equipment in the context of laboratory safety. Identify and assess potential hazards within a laboratory environment, demonstrating the ability to prioritize and implement appropriate control measures for each type of hazard. Develop a comprehensive understanding of the role of personal protective equipment (PPE) as the last line of defense, recognizing its importance in conjunction with other control measures for effective hazard mitigation.

Frequently Asked Questions
It's a framework prioritizing engineering controls, administrative controls, work practices, and personal protective equipment to manage laboratory hazards comprehensively.
It explores chemical exposures, biological risks, and fire and explosion hazards, among other dangers found within a laboratory setting.
The course positions personal protective equipment as the final layer of defense, after engineering controls, administrative controls, and safe work practices are applied.
You'll be able to identify and assess potential hazards within a laboratory environment and prioritize the right control measure for each one.
Rather than focusing on one hazard category, this course guides learners through control measures that apply across chemical, biological, and fire risks alike.
