Lab Safety OSHA
A laboratory is one of the most variable workplaces there is. The chemicals change, the procedures change, and the hazards change right along with them. That is exactly why working safely in a lab is not about memorizing a single set of rules. It is about building habits that protect you no matter what is on the bench in front of you. This course teaches laboratory workers how to protect themselves from exposure to hazardous chemicals.

What You'll Learn
- How to identify the hazards of the chemicals you work with
- How chemicals get into the body, and how exposure is measured and limited
- The Chemical Hygiene Plan and why it is the foundation of lab safety
- The safety equipment in your lab and how to use it
- The everyday work practices that keep you safe
About This Course

This course is built around OSHA's Occupational Exposure to Hazardous Chemicals in Laboratories Standard (the Laboratory Standard), which establishes requirements to protect laboratory workers from exposure to hazardous chemicals through measures such as a Chemical Hygiene Plan, exposure controls, training, and hazard communication.
By the end of this course, you should be able to:
• Define the laboratory use of hazardous chemicals

• Describe how chemicals enter the body and the signs of overexposure
• Explain the purpose and required elements of a Chemical Hygiene Plan

Is there a time limit for online courses?
Everyone learns at a different pace and everyone retains information differently. When you take a course online, you go at your own speed. If you get to a certain point and don’t fully understand the material, you can pause and go back for a review. On the other hand, if everything makes perfect sense, you can go straight through the entire course right to the test.
How does virtual proctoring/testing with webcam monitoring work?
When you start your test, you will be monitored via your webcam. If you disappear from the screen or appear to be consulting another device or other material, you will be disqualified from the course. The company responsible for virtual proctoring is Integrity Advocate. You can find out more about how their system works here.
