Eye protection, fire evacuation protocol, lab coats, the Chemical Hygiene Plan, MSDS's... employees can feel overwhelmed with laboratory safety considerations. This program covers the most important safety issues that both new employees and "seasoned veterans" face in the laboratory.

Employees may never need to use them, but if they do, knowing the proper procedures can prevent serious injury, or even save a life. Correct use of both eye wash stations and safety showers are covered in this program.

These some of the most dangerous materials used in a laboratory. This program reviews proper handling procedures as well as the personal protective equipment that should be used when working with flammables and explosives.

Formaldehyde is used in many laboratory operations. This program covers training required by the OSHA Formaldehyde Standard including safe work practices, personal protective equipment, spill/clean-up procedures, medical surveillance programs and more.

Many activities in the laboratory can exert stress and strain on muscles and joints... Ultimately causing significant injuries. Ergonomic considerations such as working at a bench or hood, using a computer terminal, positioning compressed gas cylinders and safe lifting techniques are all addressed in this program.

All potentially hazardous materials entering a laboratory have MSDSs. But to make good use of this information employees need to understand the MSDS and what is in it. This program reviews the various sections of the MSDS, what information can be found in each section and most importantly, how this information can help employees as they go about their work.

When working with hazardous materials, laboratory and biohazard hoods can protect the experiment, the facility, and more importantly the employee. This program discusses when and why these hoods are used, as well as how to operate and maintain them for maximum effectiveness.

Today, one of the major concerns in all laboratories is controlling contamination. This program shows how contamination occurs and reviews the steps that can be taken to prevent its spread.

Broken glassware is probably the major cause of laboratory accidents. Types of glassware used in the laboratory, configuring of glassware systems, making proper connections, handling techniques and cleaning/decontamination are all covered in this program.

A caustic acid hose has just erupted... an experiment has shown unexpected reactions... what should employees do to deal with these and other emergency situations? This program covers when and how employees should act in an emergency to prevent injury, property damage, or even loss of life.

The energy possessed by a compressed gas cylinder can make a virtual "missile" if not handled with the utmost care. Positioning cylinders properly, storage "incompatibilities," fittings/connections and more are covered in this program.

Safe Use of Chemical Fume Hoods defines what a fume hood is and how to use it. Join Professor Fumér in this unique presentation as he points out the do's and don'ts of working in a chemical fume hood safely. Key concepts are illustrated through dramatic smoke demonstrations and schematic diagrams. Length: 17 minutes

You will learn:
How fume hoods function
To describe fume hood components
How user actions impact airflow patterns
How the environment affects fume hood functions
The purpose of fume hood safety

Is our two-day course on eight, 90-minute VHS videocassettes. The best lab safety training value available today (1995). Eight-part series with seminar notebook.
