Laboratory Safety and Ergonomics

Laboratory Safety and Ergonomics

This e-learning course provides essential training to prevent injuries and ill-health within laboratory environments. You will explore fundamental ergonomic principles, understanding how to design work areas, equipment, and processes to minimise physical strain and fatigue. The training also covers other crucial risk factors inherent in laboratory work, from the layout of the workspace to the safe use of equipment and the execution of various procedures. By identifying and addressing these hazards, learners will gain the knowledge to foster a safer, more comfortable, and productive working environment for themselves and their colleagues.
