Description

This course delves into the critical role of personal protective equipment (PPE) as the last line of defense against chemical exposure in laboratory settings. Participants will gain a thorough understanding of various types of PPE, their intended protective functions, and the significance of their proper use. Focusing on Personal Protective Equipment Assessment, Eye and Face Protection, and Respiratory Protection, this training equips individuals with the knowledge and skills necessary to navigate laboratory environments safely. Assess and identify the appropriate types of PPE required for specific laboratory tasks and potential exposure risks. Identify the types of eye and face protection equipment, their applications, and the importance of safeguarding against chemical exposure. Describe the selection and proper use of respiratory protection devices to mitigate the risk of inhaling hazardous substances. Identify and apply proper techniques for wearing and using PPE effectively in laboratory environments. Develop the ability to evaluate potential exposure risks in day-to-day laboratory tasks and recognize the importance of preventive measures through PPE.
