Safety Training for the Laboratory
CMLS-101 through 112                  LST-101 through 112
       CD-based training programs                            Video-based training programs

A series of 12 training programs that explain how to establish safety procedures that conform to OSHA regulations. Available either as interactive CDs or short, easy-to-use videotapes, each program is packaged in a durable Savant binder, with a Presenter's Guide, Tips on Conducting a Training Session, Program Outline, Attendance Form and Quiz.

Orientation to Laboratory Safety
Eye protection, fire evacuation protocol, lab coats, the Chemical Hygiene Plan, MSDS’s and more - employees can feel overwhelmed with laboratory safety considerations. This program covers the most important safety issues that both new employees and "seasoned veterans" face in the laboratory.

Electrical Safety In The Laboratory
To work safely with electrically powered equipment, employees need to know how electricity works and the dangers it holds. Principles of electrical energy, fuses, short circuits, "Lock-Out/Tag-Out", instrument repair and more are covered in this program.

Laboratory Ergonomics
Many activities in the laboratory can exert stress and strain on muscles and joints…ultimately causing significant injuries. Ergonomic considerations such as working at a bench or hood, using a computer terminal, positioning compressed gas cylinders and safe lifting techniques are all addressed in this program.

Material Safety Data Sheets
All potentially hazardous materials entering a laboratory have MSDS’s. But to make good use of this information employees need to understand the MSDS and what is in it. This program reviews the various sections of the MSDS, what information can be found in each section and most importantly, how this information can help employees as they go about their work.

Laboratory Hoods
When working with hazardous materials, laboratory and biohazard hoods can protect the experiment, the facility and, most importantly, the employee. This program discusses when and why these hoods are used, as well as how to operate and maintain them for maximum effectiveness.

Planning For Laboratory Emergencies
A caustic acid hose has just erupted…an experiment has produced unexpected, violent reactions…what should employees do to deal with these and other emergency situations? This program covers when and how employees should act in an emergency to prevent injury, property damage or even loss of life.

Handling Compressed Gas Cylinders
The energy possessed by a compressed gas cylinder can make it a virtual "missile", if not handled carefully. Positioning cylinders properly, storage "incompatibilities", fittings/connections and more are covered in this program.
