Hazard Communications for Laboratories

In the realm of laboratories, the iconic image of lab coats and experiments often overshadows a critical component—chemicals. Laboratories are dynamic environments where an array of chemicals, substances, and mixtures are not only used in experiments but also stored and transported. Understanding the unique properties and potential hazards of these chemicals is vital for the safety of individuals, coworkers, and the public. The Hazard Communications for Laboratory Safety Training course is designed to equip participants with the knowledge and skills needed to identify, assess, and mitigate chemical hazards in laboratory settings. The course delves into the fundamentals of hazard communication, the globally harmonized system, safety data sheets, chemical hygiene plans, labeling, and protocols for chemical storage and transfer.
