This course describes safety in analytical laboratory is a very important aspect of science. Without it, experimentation could result in very serious injury, if not death, of course. To reduce the risks involved with experimentation, there are certain procedures that we should all follow as individuals and as a member of a group. It is important that the correct procedures are used in various situations, when handling hazardous or biological materials, when preparing, executing or cleaning up an experiment. It is also essential that you understand how to identify and use emergency equipment and protective gear.

This course is to provide a safe and healthy laboratory environment to all laboratory occupants through the establishment and maintenance of a Comprehensive Laboratory Safety Program. The General Laboratory Safety Manual provides control measures essential for protecting all laboratory occupants from common hazards found in the laboratory.

These controls consist of, but are not limited to, policies, guidelines, training requirements, standard operating procedures, personal protective equipment, and laboratory audits.

Upon successful completion of this course, the delegates will be able to:

ü  Discuss pavement design of roads and pavements as well as pavement design procedures

ü  Aware about safety rules in analytical laboratory

ü  Recognized hazards that are causing or likely to cause death or serious physical harm to his employees

ü  Understanding  Standard operating procedure of analytical laboratory

ü  Knowledge about the Occupational Exposure to Hazardous Chemicals in Laboratories
