Emergency responses to incidents in the laboratory can be extremely challenging. The thought of wild-haired scientists in white lab coats holding colorful, bubbling beakers of chemicals only adds to the mystery and creates responder anxiety. Inexact science, hazardous chemicals, biologicals, radioactive materials, specialty gases, and complicated laboratory apparatus and instrumentation all pose special challenges. Additionally, the physical layout of laboratory facilities further complicates the response. This workshop helps take the mystery out of laboratory emergency response by enhancing situational assessment, risk-based decision-making, and responder safety.
Learning Objectives:
Size up a lab facility. Identify typical hazards and structures in the lab. Practice size-up using pictures and videos.
Strategies and tactics for responding to spills and fires.
Real life, original pictures and videos demonstrate hazards and allow for discussion on how to handle the hazard.
