Description
This course expands on the potential physical hazards that laboratory employees may encounter, including ergonomic, ionizing radiation, non-ionizing radiation, and noise hazards. Participants will gain insights into preventive measures and safety protocols to mitigate risks associated with repetitive injuries, exposure to ionizing and non-ionizing radiation, and the adverse effects of excessive noise. The course emphasizes the importance of ergonomic workstation setup, radiation protective measures, and understanding the hazards posed by non-ionizing radiation sources and noise exposure. Understand and implement effective measures to prevent ergonomic injuries in a laboratory setting, including optimizing workstation setups and recognizing potential sources of strain. Demonstrate knowledge of safety protocols and precautionary measures for handling ionizing radiation, non-ionizing radiation, and laser hazards, ensuring compliance with established limits. Identify sources of noise exposure in the laboratory, assess associated risks, and implement strategies to protect hearing, including the proper use of hearing protection devices.
