LAB500: LABORATORY SAFETY (FORMERLY COM801)
This course is designed to give a brief introduction to the potential hazards and risk involved in working in a laboratory, handling chemicals, and operating equipment, including how to prevent laboratory accidents, how to minimize exposure to potential hazards and how to safely dispose of materials. The course gives a brief overview of employee and employer responsibilities including documentation, personal protective equipment, and training. Due to the expansive nature of this topic, the course is not designed to encompass every facet of laboratory safety or replace any OSHA approved courses, but rather is intended to serve as a condensed introduction and hands-on application to laboratory safety for the non-scientist.
