Careless handling of materials and equipment in the science laboratory can have serious, even deadly, consequences. This course helps institutions manage and reduce risks by establishing comprehensive lab safety policies.

This course will help learners understand:

• How to establish and implement policies to protect students and others in a lab
• Safety measures while conducting experiments
• Use of personal protective equipment
• How to ensure that students follow procedures so that safety is second nature

Administrators and lab instructors at higher ed and K-12 institutions can benefit from this course.
