This hour-long training is a review for those who have already taken Chemical Hygiene Plan and Laboratory Safety Training.

The Review is intended for those who handle chemicals and equipment in a UWM laboratory, studio or shop.  This includes PIs, TAs, RAs, Lab Managers, Lab Volunteers, SURF grant students and High school volunteers.

The University of Wisconsin- Milwaukee Laboratory Safety Refresher is intended to cover and provide guidelines for individuals working in the campus laboratory community. The training describes policies, hazard risk assessments, procedures, equipment, personal protective equipment, and work practices that are capable of protecting laboratory personnel from the health hazards in laboratories.

This training will inform you of the CHP elements, proper use of the CHP for safety in the lab, and how compliance is achieved. General lab safety information and procedures will be discussed.
