About

OSHA Laboratory Safety Training equips lab personnel with the practical safety knowledge required under the OSHA Laboratory Standard (29 CFR 1910.1450) and associated regulations. The course covers Chemical Hygiene Plan design, hazard communication, PPE selection, fume hood and biosafety cabinet practice, bloodborne-pathogen exposure control, and emergency response. Learners apply the framework in worked scenarios covering chemical spills, sharps injuries, fire response and incident reporting.

This course is recommended for laboratory technicians, scientists, supervisors, facility safety officers and anyone working in a US-regulated laboratory environment. On completion, learners will be able to apply the OSHA Laboratory Standard at the bench, recognise hazard categories and apply the right controls, and respond confidently to emergencies. Aligned with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1450, 1910.1030 (Bloodborne Pathogens) and the GHS-aligned Hazard Communication Standard.
