Emergency responses to incidents in the laboratory can be extremely challenging. The thought of wild-haired scientists in white lab coats holding colorful, bubbling beakers of chemicals only adds to the mystery and creates responder anxiety. Inexact science, hazardous chemicals, biologicals, radioactive materials, specialty gases, and complicated laboratory apparatus and instrumentation all pose special challenges. Additionally, the physical layout of laboratory facilities further complicates the response. This workshop helps take the mystery out of laboratory emergency response by enhancing situational assessment, risk-based decision-making, and responder safety.
Learning Objectives:
Size up a laboratory facility like a house or building. Identification of typical hazards found in the R&D and testing environments. Practice size-up through the use of pictures and videos.
Provide the responder useful strategies and tactics for responding to research and development and testing laboratories.
