Lab Safety Training Made Simple,
Second Edition

Dan Scungio, MT (ASCP), SLS, CQA (ASQ)

Ensure your laboratory staff are prepared for The Joint Commission, CMS, OSHA, and other regulatory agencies by offering them training that doesn’t just go through the motions, but is interactive and engaging.

This electronic training tool offers:

Lab activities and games—Take advantage of activities written specifically for laboratory employees and designed to keep things interesting.
Expert “how-to” advice—You’ll get knowledgeable tips on how to decide which method of training may work best for various topics or situations, and when to deliver training using internal staff or outside resources.
A special section devoted to training new employees—Make sure newcomers learn their lab standard operating procedures right away, know where emergency equipment is located, and understand what to do if a spill or other accident occurs. Since safety is a full-time concern, this section also offers guidance on regular staff updates and refresher training.
Tips, tools, and case studies—Each lab safety topic covered in the book includes at least one relevant case study, as well as several “Safety Savvy Tip” boxes that provide important points to emphasize during training. Plus, each topic comes with a competency assessment suggestion and an evaluation tool to gauge how well your staff is doing!
Critical compliance information—All of the safety topics are directly correlated with the safety section of the CAP Laboratory General Checklist and include additional references where appropriate.
