Recent news regarding significant laboratory accidents out of UCLA and UFL has revealed several vulnerabilities in laboratory safety management in higher education and research institutions. Internally, Board and C-level inquiries and independent third-party audits can be anticipated in the coming weeks and months. Federal OSHA and state regulators are likely to be more focused on laboratory safety and facilities operations. Institutionalizing a culture of safety among researchers, their staff, and the Safety and Facilities departments is essential for successful and sustained efforts. This webinar focuses on best practices and proven strategies for implementing, maximizing, and tracking the effectiveness of laboratory safety management programs. This online event will focus on the following areas of the laboratory safety program: - Risk-based Inspection Protocols
- Strengthening your Existing Laboratory Inspection Program with Corrective Action and Documentation Management
- Creating a Laboratory Hazard Assessment Tool – and Using It
- Risk Management of High Hazard Chemicals
- Employee Training and Documentation Management
- Management Challenges in Laboratory Safety
