The primary training would be to provide basic information for working safely with laboratory chemicals and equipment. Laboratory safety information outlines how the department complies with Government and Health standards.
Environmental Health & Safety
Providing technical support, information and training, consultation, and periodic audits of health and safety practices and regulatory compliance. For example: general safety, chemical safety, radiation safety, biosafety, and sanitation.
- Ensure laboratory workers, including staff, students, and volunteers, attend Laboratory Safety Training.
- Ensure laboratory workers understand the potential health and physical hazards of the chemicals and equipment used in the laboratory.
- Explain proper and safe procedures for handling hazardous substances used in the laboratory under all circumstances.
- Provide appropriate engineering controls and personal protective equipment to allow laboratory workers to work safely.
- Provide laboratory workers with the location and availability of the Departmental Chemical Hygiene Plan and reference materials, including material safety data sheets.
- Review and approve work involving particularly hazardous substances.
Safeguarding lab resources from unauthorized access, misuse, or removal is a duty of all faculty and staff. In laboratories, this obligation rests primarily with the head of the department and Principal Investigator; however, all laboratory personnel have a responsibility to take reasonable precautions against theft or misuse of materials, particularly those that could threaten the public. Any extraordinary laboratory security measures should be commensurate with the potential risks and imposed in a manner that does not unreasonably hamper research.
Hope the above helps.
