Training for the Laboratory
CMLS-101 through
112 LST-101
through 119
CD-based
training programs
Video-based training programs
A series of 12 training programs that explain how to
establish safety procedures that conform to OSHA regulations.  Available
either as interactive CDs or short, easy-to-use videotapes,
each program is packaged in a durable Savant binder,
with a Presenter's Guide, Tips on Conducting a Training
Session, Program Outline, Attendance Form and Quiz.
Orientation to Laboratory
Safety
Eye protection, fire evacuation protocol, lab coats,
the Chemical Hygiene Plan, MSDS’s and more -
employees can feel overwhelmed with laboratory safety
considerations. This program covers the most important
safety issues that both new employees and "seasoned
veterans" face in the laboratory.

Safety Showers And Eyewashes
Knowing proper procedures can prevent serious injury,
or even save a life. Correct use of both eyewash stations
and safety showers are covered in this program.

Flammables And Explosives
Flammables and explosives are some of the most dangerous
materials used in a laboratory. This program reviews
proper handling procedures as well as the personal
protective equipment that should be used when working
with flammables and explosives.

The OSHA Formaldehyde Standard
Formaldehyde is used in many laboratory operations.
This program covers training required by the OSHA Formaldehyde
Standard including safe work practices, personal protective
equipment, spill/clean-up procedures, medical surveillance
programs and more.

Electrical Safety In The
Laboratory
To work safely with electrically powered equipment,
employees need to know how electricity works and the
dangers it holds. Principles of electrical energy,
fuses, short circuits, "Lock-Out/Tag-Out",
instrument repair and more are covered in this program.

Laboratory Ergonomics
Many activities in the laboratory can exert stress
and strain on muscles and joints…ultimately
causing significant injuries. Ergonomic considerations
such as working at a bench or hood, using a computer
terminal, positioning compressed gas cylinders and
safe lifting techniques are all addressed in this program.

Material Safety Data Sheets 
All potentially hazardous materials entering
a laboratory have MSDS’s. But to make good
use of this information employees need to understand
the MSDS and what is in it. This program reviews
the various sections of the MSDS, what information
can be found in each section and most importantly,
how this information can help employees as they
go about their work.

Videotape: LST-107
Laboratory Hoods
When working with hazardous materials, laboratory and
biohazard hoods can protect the experiment, the facility
and, most importantly, the employee. This program discusses
when and why these hoods are used, as well as how to
operate and maintain them for maximum effectiveness.

Preventing Contamination
Today, one of the major concerns in all laboratories
is controlling contamination. This program shows how
contamination occurs and reviews the steps that can
be taken to prevent its spread.

Safe Handling Of Laboratory
Glassware
Broken glassware is probably the major cause of laboratory
accidents. Types of glassware used in the laboratory,
configuring glassware systems, making proper connections,
handling techniques and cleaning/decontamination are
all covered in this program.
Interactive Disk: CMLS-110
Videotape: LST-110
Planning For Laboratory
Emergencies
A caustic acid hose has just erupted…an experiment
has produced unexpected, violent reactions…what
should employees do to deal with these and other emergency
situations? This program covers when and how employees
should act in an emergency to prevent injury, property
damage or even loss of life.
Interactive Disk: CMLS-111
Videotape: LST-111
Handling Compressed Gas
Cylinders
The energy possessed by a compressed gas cylinder
can make it a virtual "missile", if not handled
carefully. Positioning cylinders properly, storage "incompatibilities",
fittings/connections and more are covered in this program.
