This PDC will discuss: 1) OSHA 10-hr GI required (R) topics; 2) required electives (E); and 3) laboratory-specific optional (O) topics that are applicable to educational lab settings, R&D laboratories, and lab-based manufacturing operations. It is a solid overview of relevant safety and industrial hygiene for those new to the job or those who have changed work sectors. The course will be a combination of lectures, class discussions, case studies, and various laboratory S&H references including Prudent Practices in the Laboratory - Handling and Disposal of Chemicals. After successfully passing a final examination, an OSHA 10-hour GI card of completion will be provided approximately 30 days after the class.
