Got DCM? Hazards of methylene chloride: eye irritant, skin irritant, possible carcinogen, nervous system toxin

Methylene Chloride Webinar Series

This webinar series will focus on actionable steps to comply with the EPA TSCA final rule on methylene chloride. Walking through the hierarchy of controls, each installment will focus on a hazard control method (elimination, substitution, engineering controls, administrative, PPE) applicable to laboratory handling of this common reagent.

The webinar series will help participants:

  • Meet the EPA TSCA regulatory requirements
  • Provide guidance on selecting safer alternatives to methylene chloride
  • Update processes to promote safety and minimize exposure by developing exposure control plans (ECPs)
  • Offer practical strategies for managing exposure, implementing safety controls, and maintaining compliance documentation

Designed for anyone in academia or industry who uses methylene chloride, this webinar series offers essential strategies to navigate new regulatory landscapes and enhance laboratory safety culture.
