Lab safety is everyone’s responsibility. But chemists can struggle with understanding safety-related laws, policies, and regulations. What are researchers expected to know? Which safety rules are they required to follow, and what legal consequences do they face if they break these rules? Something so important shouldn’t be left to chance.
Now you can join ACS Chemical Health & Safety Editor-in-Chef Mary Beth Mulcahy, Development Editor Kali Miller, and Editorial Advisory Board member Ralph Stuart to explore the answers to these questions. Check out the free, on-demand webinar: “Lab Safety for Researchers: Responsibilities, Regulations, and Lessons Learned.”
What You Will Learn About Lab Safety During this Free Webinar:
- A look at an illuminating case study in lab safety and best practices for preventing incidents
- Critical legal concepts applied in health and lab safety regulations
- Differences between performance and prescriptive health and lab safety regulations
- The most common questions graduate students ask about legal aspects of their safety responsibilities in the lab
- Guidelines and resources for identifying and understanding researchers’ regulatory responsibilities
- Five lessons learned about the practical aspects of managing regulations in the research lab setting, including chemical use costs, inter-agency regulatory issues, and more
