Training - Laboratory Specific
Everyone planning to work with hazardous materials or processes must be adequately trained before beginning work. Supervisors are responsible for ensuring that all personnel receive appropriate EH&S training and lab-specific training. Document lab-specific training with the signature of the persons giving and receiving the training, the date, and the topics covered. Information communicated in the training should include
-

-
An explanation of the health hazards, signs, and symptoms of exposure to hazardous materials
