Course Description

This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops. Chemical storage cabinets are typically used to safely store small amounts of chemical substances within a workplace or laboratory for regular use. These cabinets are typically made from materials that are resistant to the chemicals stored in them and occasionally contain a bunded tray to capture spillage. Chemical stores are warehouses commonly used by chemical or pharmaceutical companies to store bulk chemicals. In the US, the storage and handling of potentially hazardous materials must be disclosed to occupants under laws managed by occupational safety and health administrative (OSHA). This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of lab chemicals handling and storage. It covers the chemistry and chemical groups; the use of material safety data sheet (MSDS) of physical and chemical properties; the physical and health hazards and incompatibility; the hazards of chemicals in laboratory and the assessment of chemical risks; and the inventory compilation, maintenance, proper storage, handling of chemicals, waste disposal and control of exposure and PPE.
