Course Overview

Labs are places of discovery, but they can turn dangerous in an instant. One moment, you’re focused on your work; the next, you’re facing a chemical spill, a fire, or an invisible biological hazard creeping through the air. It only takes a second for control to slip away. What you do in that moment could make all the difference, and we are here to make sure it’s the correct decision.

This course isn’t just about regulations. It’s about knowing how to act when things go wrong. We’ll break down OSHA standards like the Chemical Hygiene Plan (29 CFR 1910.1450) and Emergency Action Plans (29 CFR 1910.38) into something clear—something that’s easy to follow when seconds matter. You’ll get to know the safety gear: gloves, respirators, fire extinguishers. Not just how to use them, but when they’re your lifeline.We’ll walk you through how to contain a chemical spill before it spreads, how to smother a fire in its first moments, and how to keep yourself breathing safely when the air itself becomes a threat. But it’s not just about reaction—it’s about prevention. Learning to see the dangers before they strike, that’s half the battle.

By the end of this course, you won’t just know the rules—you’ll understand them. You’ll know how to respond in line with OSHA’s lab safety standards, from handling hazardous chemicals to managing biological risks. You’ll also know your role in keeping the lab safe and how to ensure your employer is doing their part to comply with regulations. This course will leave you ready to stand firm in the face of lab emergencies, knowing you’ve got the knowledge and tools to act quickly and keep everyone safe.

No Worries. Here's Some Helpful Info.

Stop. Take a breath. If it’s safe, grab the spill kit and contain it. Warn others and follow your lab’s emergency plan. If things look risky, get out and call for help. You can find more on this in OSHA’s Chemical Hygiene Plan (29 CFR 1910.1450).

Good housekeeping goes a long way—keep flammable stuff where it belongs, keep your workspace clear, and check your equipment. Know where the fire extinguishers are and how to use them. OSHA’s Fire Prevention Plan standard (29 CFR 1910.39) has more.

At a minimum, you’ll need gloves and a lab coat. If things get more serious, you might need a respirator or face shield. It depends on the situation. Check out OSHA’s Bloodborne Pathogens Standard (29 CFR 1910.1030) for the full list.

Every lab needs an emergency action plan. It tells you how to evacuate, who to call, and what to do when things go wrong. OSHA lays it all out in their Emergency Action Plans standard (29 CFR 1910.38).

Chemical spills, biological exposure, fires, and radiation are the big ones. Each comes with its own set of risks, and OSHA’s lab safety standard (29 CFR 1910.1450) tells you how to handle them.
