Drawing on 40 years of experience, our Two-Day Lab Safety Short Course digs deep into fundamentals of what makes an effective lab safety program, arresting attention with eye-opening stories you won't forget. You will learn to identify and manage common laboratory hazards, many of which you may never have considered. Our "real-world" approach to lab safety provides industry-tested best practices to reduce the likelihood of injury, illness, accidents (and resulting lawsuits). Bring your problem descriptions, accident accounts and safety program materials for review and discussion. You will walk away with an actionable list of simple, inexpensive (even free) things that you can do to have an even better safety program.
