Over the past several months Research Compliance has been hard at work constructing online training modules. Until now anyone working in a lab was required to attend at minimum, an in person 2 hour training session before working in any type of laboratory. For the convenience of all lab workers an online option is now in place. Not all trainings are currently in module form but the ones that are will replace the need to go to the 2 hour in person training. Principal Investigators and Lab Safety Coordinators are encouraged to direct new lab workers to this training.
In person training is still an option for those who prefer that method. Advantages. It is the responsibility of the Principal InvestigatorView Boston University's policy on.
And or Laboratory Safety Committee to ensure lab workers have proper training. This provides a more convenient way of ensuring that. There is a quiz at the end of each module of which an 80 must be scored to receive credit for the class. The quiz also helps with record keeping and to ensure compliance. You can take the modules at your convenience. We estimate that the modules will take less time to complete as compared to the current in person training.
You are only required to take modules that apply to your work. In the past these modules were all grouped together and labs were required to attend 2 hours of training, some of which did not apply to them. For instance a lab that does not use hazardous chemicals will not have to go through an in-depth training on the use of chemicals.
It alleviates redundancy of topics. For instance since everyone must take universal training first and there they get a video on emergency showers and eyewashes, this is not repeated but referred back to when discussing specific spills in chemical and biological training modules.DescriptionThe training modules listed below are currently available in Blackboard Vista. We anticipate adding more modules as we expand the program. Universal Laboratory Safety Training: This training is for all new lab workers. The information is universal to all laboratories.
Some topics are; Intro to ORC, Hazard Communication, Fire and Life Safety, Basic Lab Hazards, Exposure Prevention, and Emergency Information.
