Industrial scale laundry operations pose certain inherent risks to workers, including heat stress, bloodborne diseases, chemical exposure, machine hazards, and musculoskeletal disorders. Because laundry is not typically thought of as hazardous work, it is very important that laundry workers be aware of the hazards they may face and possess the knowledge and skills to protect themselves. This awareness-level course will discuss the common hazards of working in a commercial laundry facility and the best methods for controlling those hazards. This course was designed for employees working in hospitality or food-service related laundry facilities, but would be appropriate for employees in any commercial laundry facility. Employees in laundry operations servicing hospitals, laboratories and other medical or research facilities may require additional training over the handling of hazardous laundry. While this course addresses OSHA training requirements, there may be a site-specific training component required that must be fulfilled by an employer. This course is presented in English and Spanish.
