Description

Our Lab Technician Safety course has been devised to enlighten learners of the basic equipment and chemicals used in clinical laboratories. The participants will also get deep insights into the precautionary measures needed to prevent, reduce and control the risk exposure. Working around hazardous substances poses a few threats by itself. Training employees and taking precautionary measures is the only way to prevent accidents and ill-health.

Safety is a major concern in the workplace where lab technician employees are exposed to equipment and chemicals that pose the threat to cause harm. So people working in such places should be well aware of the prevalent risks and the corresponding safety measures that are going to save him from the hazard. The course will teach learners how to carry out Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations(RIDDOR). The act was laid out to encourage people to follow health and safety procedures in the workplace and prevent accidents.

By the end of the Lab Technician Safety course, you will know the full principles and contents of the COSHH act, and how it may apply to your workplace. As well as identifying the regulations, you will know the significance of COSHH symbols and how to act with them. You will also be able to perform risk assessments and mitigations in your workplace.
