A laboratory safety program depends on participation and cooperation from every employee. This course describes common hazards associated with laboratory environments and introduces ways to control and limit chemical exposure. Ideal learners are any employee who works in a laboratory environment.

When you work in a laboratory environment, you need to know what infectious materials are present and how to manage the associated risks. Take this course to learn about how exposure to infections materials can occur and to take an in-depth look at the components of the risk management process used to determine appropriate biosafety levels for clinical and research laboratories. You will also learn about common classification systems used with potentially infectious biological materials and biosafety levels that describe containment standards for these materials. This course describes the duties of the laboratory director, as well as pertinent regulations regarding transportation and importation of agents and vectors capable of causing human disease. Finally, this training will provide the definition and purpose of laboratory biosecurity and associated components as well as an overview of facility and biosafety level requirements for research laboratories dealing with infectious disease activities using live animals.

Obviously, falling off a ladder can injure you. But did you know that falling just 4 feet (or 1 meter) can actually kill you? If there is ever a chance you will use a ladder at work, you need to use it safely. This program covers the types of ladders as well as guidelines for proper ladder safety and inspection. Ideal learners include all employees who use ladders.
