Introduction to Laboratory Safety (Scenario Training)

For New Employees

Emergency Response is what happens after something unusual happens. Are you ready to respond to emergencies in your laboratory? Social science research has shown that the answer to this question depends to a large extent on whether you've thought through likely scenarios already (eve if these aren't the exact situation that occurs). This training addresses this concern using some of the most common laboratory hazards found at UVM.

The Scenario Training is designed for all UVM laboratory workers and includes Chemical Safety, Emergency Response and Bloodborne Pathogens issues. You should take the online courses covering chemical safety, chemical waste and bloodborne pathogens before attending the session so that you will be familiar with the terminology used.

The Laboratory Safety classroom trainings schedule can be found on our registration page at http://www.uvm.edu/~esf/databases/class_signup

For Departments

We are also able to tailor more advanced versions of this training to your laboratory group or department, which is often the most effective way to learn. Contact us at esf@uvm.edu to set up a department-specific training or with any other training questions.
