In this course the lab manager (or whoever has been assigned to be the laboratory safety person) will learn how to improve chemical safety in the lab, prepare the lab for a routine visit by the Office of Chemical Safety, learn how to develop required safety documents, and be able to download several resources. Some of the topics discussed include chemical storage, special chemicals (e.g. ethidium bromide, peroxide formers, HF), chemical hygiene plans, housekeeping, emergency equipment and compressed gases. Participants can pick and choose the information they want to view and will have the opportunity to interact with other laboratory chemical hygiene officers.
