A lot of important scientific research and development is done in laboratories, and a lot of people depend on their work. However, there can be several hazards to lab workers, particularly chemical hazards. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires labs to create a formalized chemical hygiene plan to help protect lab employees from chemical hazards. Learners who successfully complete this course will display the ability to recognize the purpose and components of a chemical hygiene plan, and identify his/her responsibilities in the continued implementation of such a plan. This course is designed for all workers, students or other personnel who will work in a laboratory.
