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.

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.
