Course Overview
This comprehensive 15-Hour Healthcare: Laboratory Safety training program provides participants with essential knowledge and practical skills required for maintaining safe and healthy work environments in medical and dental laboratory settings. The program is designed to provide training on a variety of safety topics related to workplace hazards in a medical or dental laboratory setting.
Participants will learn to apply OSHA standards and healthcare industry best practices to recognize and prevent hazards specific to laboratory operations while understanding fundamental safety procedures. This program combines theoretical concepts with practical applications and real-world scenarios to ensure participants gain valuable knowledge applicable to their professional environment while emphasizing hazard identification, exposure control, and safe laboratory practices. Laboratory workers are exposed to numerous potential hazards, including chemical, biological, physical and radioactive hazards, as well as musculoskeletal stresses. In addition to OSHA's required general industry topics, this program includes laboratory-specific training. This program takes a closer look at these important topics, including latex allergy, bloodborne pathogens in the healthcare setting, biological hazards, and slip, trip, and fall prevention for healthcare workers. This program helps employers meet OSHA training requirements for their staff.
