Who should complete this course?
Do you handle harmful chemicals during your work? If so, it is required to complete this training course every two years (or if regulations change). UAB’s Chemical Safety Training (CS101) is based on the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) Laboratory Standard. The goal of the Laboratory Standard is to educate employees about the potentially hazardous chemicals in their area and how to minimize exposure. This course provides information on identifying risks associated with hazardous chemicals, minimizing exposure, labeling, and inventory requirements, and the correct procedures to respond to emergencies. A copy of the completed training certificate must be maintained in the laboratory files and presented to the proper authorities upon request.
