OSHA Laboratory Standard REFRESHER

OSHA’s recent regulations require all employees to receive safety training, but it also requires employee knowledge to be "refreshed" through retraining at least on an annual basis. Since the detailed information that is required by the regulations has normally been given to employees during their initial training, retraining sessions can usually focus on things like reminding employees that they should be paying attention to the regulation in question, health risks, and heightening their "awareness" about how the regulation affects their jobs. MARCOMs “refresher training” products on "The OSHA Laboratory Standard" give employees the information they need to refresh their knowledge of OSHAs regulation addressing chemical hazards in laboratory environments as cost effectively as possible. Topics covered in these products include:

• Physical and health hazards
• Common types of hazardous chemicals
• Container labels
• Material safety data sheets
• Personal protective equipment
• Safe work practices
• Storage considerations
• Clean-up and disposal
• and more
