Review contracts and agreements for the obligations they create around laboratory safety procedures.
Occupational Safety Procedures in Scientific Laboratories
Practical training in laboratory safety procedures, grounded in real cases and applied to your own operation.
Course Overview
Regulators judge laboratory safety procedures on evidence of application, not on the existence of a document. A procedure for this strand of occupational health and safety that people cannot follow under time pressure is not a control. Participants gain a realistic view of what this area of occupational health and safety costs and what it returns. Where laboratory safety procedures is measured, it improves; where it is only discussed, it drifts. Cases are chosen to expose the trade-offs in the occupational health and safety capability rather than to illustrate ideal conditions. Most organisations already have a policy on this area of occupational health and safety; far fewer can show it working. It suits anyone whose decisions touch laboratory safety procedures, in large organisations and small ones alike. It concentrates on the parts of this part of occupational health and safety that determine outcomes and treats the rest proportionately. Participants leave with a plan for the wider occupational health and safety agenda sized to what their organisation can realistically absorb.
