You will learn to identify and manage common laboratory hazards, many of which you may never have considered. You will discover how federal, state and local environmental, health and safety requirements apply to the laboratory environment, and how to improve regulatory compliance, reduce liability exposure, and most importantly, convince others to care more about health, safety and the environment.
