Course Overview
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires laboratories to maintain records of workplace injuries and illnesses; safety data sheets (SDSs); chemical inventories; employee exposure and monitoring related to occupational chemical exposures; and personal protective equipment (PPE) certification. It’s important to properly maintain these records in the event of an OSHA inspection.
This training course is for laboratory supervisors to assist them in complying with OSHA’s recordkeeping regulations related to laboratory safety. This course also covers non-required recordkeeping guidelines for laboratories.
This course is directed at general laboratory operations. Specialized laboratories and states may have additional recordkeeping requirements.
