OSHA Inspections and Audits for Laboratory Facilities
Inspections and audits are designed to assure a healthy, safe, and code-compliant environment in which to work and/or teach. Learn the difference between an inspection and an audit and the importance of each. There are significant civil and/or criminal penalties for non-compliance with regulations; it is important for all laboratory facilities to periodically verify their compliance status. This workshop will cover the basic procedures for establishing responsibilities, emergency preparedness, employee awareness, identification/control/monitoring of potential hazards, recordkeeping, rules, and training associated with OSHA compliance.
