Free Udemy Course: Laboratories Safety Course Level-1

Laboratories Safety Course Level-1as perISO 15190:2020: MEDICAL LABORATORY SAFETY REQUIREMENTSOSHA 29 CFR 1910.1450:2011 OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE TO HAZARDOUS CHEMICALS IN LABORATORIES.GUIDELINES OF AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY (ACS) & WHO (World Health Organization)ISO 45001:2018I INTERNATIONAL STANDARD FOR OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH & SAFETY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM.Every day, laboratories around the world unlock discoveries in science, medicine, and innovation. But behind every breakthrough lies a critical foundation: "safety." Did you know? The International Labour Organization (ILO) reports over 340 million workplace accidents and 160 million work-related illnesses annually — many of them in labs.Laboratories are seen to have significant hazards but it is assumed that the laboratory staff know about them and how to control the associated risks. It is generally left to the laboratory staff itself to control their own risks. But have the staff really got the expertise and the knowledge to identify the hazards and do they know the best way to control the risks? Or, if they do, has the everyday pressure to get the job done put attention on safety into the background?Laboratories are always full of hazards like chemicals, biological materials, gas cylinders, equipment, electricity and fire etc. “American Chemical Society’s (ACS), published the report “Identifying and Evaluating Hazards in Research Laboratories” which states that key elements of hazard identification and evaluation include defining the scope of work, recognizing the potential hazards involved in every step of an experiment and evaluate the chances of its occurrence.This course will provide a background to the importance of laboratory safety and give reasons why it should always be at the forefront of both staff and management’s mind even when highly trained and experienced staff is in control.The various potential hazards will be identified and the risks associated with them assessed. Guidelines and suggestions on the control of hazards will be provided in this Level-1 Labs Safety Management Course while in the Level-2, we will guide you step by step implementation and documentation of Labs Safety management system. Level-2 will also elaborate you Labs Safety Audit importance and step by stepy guidance to perform labs safety audit.Course Programme:Information on the requirements of the following standards for laboratory safety will be provided.ISO 15190:2020: MEDICAL LABORATORY SAFETY REQUIREMENTSOSHA 29 CFR 1910.1450:2011 OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE TO HAZARDOUS CHEMICALS IN LABORATORIES.ISO 45001:2018INTERNATIONAL STANDARD FOR OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH & SAFETY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM.American  Chemical Society (ACS)WHO(World Health Organization) Labs Safety Guidelines. In addition to the above “Laboratory Safety Management System” standards, following laboratory safety topics would be covered based on the international good laboratory practices (GLP).Module-1: What is Health & SafetyModule-2: Hazards in the Labs and its typesModule-3: Chemical Hazards & Lab SafetyModule-4: Microbiological Hazards & Lab SafetyModule-5: Laboratory Hoods & its performanceModule-6: Gas Cylinders Safety in the LabsModule-7: Electrical Safety in LaboratoriesModule-8: Fire Safety in LaboratoriesModule-9: Labs Risk Assessment.FINAL EXAMTRAINING METHODOLOGY:This classroom-based course is highly interactive. All courses use accelerated learning where possible. Courses use PowerPoint slides and detailed explanation of each slide. Practical examples are given throughout all courses.WHO SHOULD ATTEND?Laboratory Managers, supervisors, Lab chemists, lab analysts, lab technicians and all laboratory staff who wish to ensure that they maintain a safe work place for themselves and for their colleagues.FREE TRAINING MATERIAL: All training slides and my published book on Amazon,”Lab Safety Management System”
