Blood borne Pathogens Training
Working in the lab you are bound to be in a position of potential exposure to blood or potentially infectious substances. Due to this we offer training for to aid in minimizing the risk of hazards when dealing with blood borne pathogens. The training has some standards such as the training for certain procedures that have the potential for being infectious must take place within 90 days after the start date, and then at least once a year after that, as well as any other training as changes are made. All training that is received and completed is to be documented.
Our training program will include the following to make it effective and meet the standards.

• A log of all chemicals must be kept and a copy or the original stored offsite.
• Glass containers are to be handled with care and never store in precarious spots where they can be broken such as bottom shelves or the floor.
• Hazardous chemicals must be kept in a secured area.
Separating and Storing Hazardous Materials
Here at the lab we abide by the storage requirements for keeping hazardous chemicals separated. We have constructed regulations to follow to ensure a safe work environment when working worth hazardous chemicals.
1. All chemicals are to be stored within their category of chemical hazard and no other way.
2. Keep the alkaline chemicals from the acidic and keep these types of chemicals on the bottom shelves.
3. Chemicals that are carcinogenic or highly toxic from all other chemicals in the lab. There is a designated spot labeled and this cabinet must remain locked.
4. Light sensitive chemicals are to be stored in the cupboard labeled light sensitive. This is to be kept closed at all times.
5. Chemicals that are time sensitive are to be discarded one year from purchase date.
6. Flammable chemicals are to be stored together and under the fume hood
