Course Description
There are many special procedures conducted within our laboratories, which require unique health and safety precautions. Departments will have additional procedures that apply to their own situations and work. In all cases the laboratory supervisor is ultimately responsible for teaching safe work practices and must insist upon the use of proper procedures to eliminate unnecessary hazards. This course provides standards and practices for the safe and healthy operation of a laboratory. It will help meet the requirements of the Occupational Health and Safety Act of Ontario (OHSA) for the purposes of the operation of a laboratory. It is required for all laboratory supervisors, researchers, staff, and students working in industrial, research and teaching laboratories. The course was meets the requirements set by Environmental Health and Safety Services (EHSS).
