The Office of Continuing Education will be offering a video-assisted distance-learning course on laboratory safety during Spring Quarter. This course will focus on providing the necessary safety information for anyone working in a laboratory environment. Topics that will be covered include emergency equipment, federal regulations, and laboratory safety practices.
Portions of this class will be replaced by the viewing of videos by the students themselves. Videos are loaned to students at the beginning of the quarter for a non-refundable fee of $10. The prerequisite is a prior Chemistry class or permission from the instructor. The class will meet 4-6:20 p.m. on Wednesdays, March 28, April 4, 11, 25, and May 2, 23, and 30 for the exam. This class is good for three credits.
Students will also be allowed to become certified by OSHA for a 10-hour General Industry Safety and Health Training course. For more information, call 745-5776.
