About
Health and safety regulations are increasingly emphasizing the importance of management commitment and employee involvement in managing risks. This course describes practices that laboratories should implement to ensure effective health and safety management. These tools are based on the actions recommended in international standard guidelines on workplace safety and health program management. These tools are based on the actions recommended in international standard guidelines on workplace safety and health program management. The course focuses on creation and implementation of a health and safety program in the laboratory. The aim of this course is to enrich and update the knowledge and skills of the participants for understanding tools and procedure of safety methods in the laboratory.
Upon successful completion of this course, the delegates will be able to:
- To familiarize participants to the laboratory safety tools.
- To recognize and evaluate all potential hazards in a laboratory
- To provide skills, knowledge and understanding of principles and practices of the application of safety methods in the laboratory
- To prevent and control the chemical hazards in the laboratory
- To know how to protect themselves and others
- To know how to arrange safety hazardous waste disposal
- To learn standard fire emergency procedures in the laboratory

Training Methodology
Pathways Training and consulting adopts the newest techniques of human resources Training and consulting and, with the following:
- Theoretical lectures are delivered via PowerPoint and visual displays (videos and short films)
- Making scientific evaluation to the trainee (before and after)
- Brainstorming and role-playing
- Using case studies related to the scientific material being delivered and the trainees' work.
- The participants get the scientific and practical material printed and on CDs and Flash memories.
- Preparing records and reports of the participants' attendance and results, with a general evaluation of the training program.
- A group of the best trainers and experts in all fields and specialties professionally prepares the scientific material.
- After finishing the course, the participants get certificates of attendance signed, certified, and issued by pathways Training and consulting.
- Our training programs start at 9:00 o'clock in the morning and end at 2:00 in the afternoon, with snack buffet during the lectures.
- Providing a lunch buffet during the training program period, with organizing a lunch party on the training program final day for taking some photos and certificate awarding.
