The Supervisory Role in Laboratory Safety

 

Introduction:

While all workers in the lab are responsible for contributing to a safe working environment, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires supervisors to play an important role in identifying and avoiding hazards, maintaining a clean and safe lab, training employees, preparing for emergencies, and keeping records. This course will help laboratory supervisors understand the specifics of their role in implementing and demonstrating safe lab procedures. It will help trainees gain a better understanding of their role as a supervisor in implementing and maintaining chemical hygiene and safety in the laboratory. You will be able to identify the relevant OSHA standard for laboratory safety and discuss major components and requirements.

While all workers are subject to OSHA’s Laboratory Standard, overall responsibility for chemical hygiene and lab safety lies with the laboratory supervisor. The standard outlines specific duties for the supervisor, including:

  • Ensuring that upon hiring or assignment, and periodically thereafter, all workers know the chemical hygiene rules applicable to your lab and ensuring that they are followed. It is your responsibility to discuss the nature of the research being conducted and the chemical, physical, and biological hazards that are present.
  • Ensuring that employees are using safe handling techniques.
  • Ensuring that appropriate personal protective equipment, or PPE, is available and in working order.
  • Planning and overseeing regular, formal chemical hygiene and housekeeping inspections, including routine inspections of emergency equipment to ensure that equipment is in working order, instructions are clear, and employees know how to use them.
  • Knowing which substances are being used in the lab and any legal requirements for those substances, including handling, storage, and labeling. This information must also be relayed to all lab employees. Material safety data sheets, or MSDSs, for each substance should be on hand and accessible to all employees.
  • And finally, when ordering substances for use in the lab, you should evaluate your lab to determine that the appropriate storage facilities exist and that all required training is fulfilled before that substance is used.

Course Objectives:

 

By the end of this course delegates will be able to:

  • Describe the supervisor’s role,
