This course is structured to provide a general overview of waste streams that can be generated in a research and development (R & D) laboratory. Information is also provided concerning the federal regulatory agencies that oversee chemical waste in a research laboratory setting and applicable guidance from those agencies.
In this interactive online course, you will learn that no matter how big or small your research laboratory, you should have a chemical hygiene plan in place to protect all laboratory personnel while they collect and handle hazardous wastes. The handling of hazardous wastes can present a physical and health hazard to laboratory workers in clinical, industrial and academic laboratories. This course will provide guidance on good work practices in the handling of the various wastes streams generated in a R & D laboratory.
