Every lab has safety policies which should help prevent potential laboratory accidents such as fires, chemical exposures, and explosions. However, even prepared labs can experience accidents, and every lab member needs to be prepared to act if and when an accident occurs.
 
Have you ever experienced a lab safety incident? Did you know what to do? Do you know what you would do if a safety incident occurs? We will discuss how to tackle these types of questions in this workshop. Upon completing the workshop, lab Safety Representatives and others will be able to:

• Complete a basic chemical safety risk assessment.
• Assess potential safety hazards based on inherent physical and/or chemical principles.

Have the tools to teach fellow lab members how to complete a basic chemical safety risk assessment.
