Analyzing Physical Hazards

What is Analyzing Physical Hazards?

Laboratories rely on equipment, tools, and processes that can pose real physical risks if they’re not handled properly. This course gives learners a practical look at the most common physical hazards found in lab environments and how to manage them safely. From electrical risks and sharp tools to compressed gases, cryogens, and equipment operation, participants learn the essentials of spotting hazards early and using safe practices to prevent injuries. It’s a straightforward foundation for anyone who needs to navigate a lab with confidence and awareness.

Course Overview

Physical hazards are among the most common risks present in research and academic laboratories. Analyzing Physical Hazards: Laboratory Safety Training provides essential knowledge to help learners recognize, assess, and manage these risks effectively.

Participants will explore how to identify physical hazards such as electrical risks, sharp instruments, compressed gases, noise exposure, and equipment-related dangers. The course emphasizes proper housekeeping, ergonomic awareness, and safe use of laboratory tools like autoclaves, centrifuges, and microtomes.

By the end of this course, learners will understand how to recognize physical hazards, evaluate potential risks, and implement appropriate safety measures to maintain a safe working environment.

Topic Overview

Physical hazards in laboratories can lead to injuries and equipment damage if not properly controlled. Awareness of these hazards—and how to prevent them—is a key part of every lab worker’s safety responsibility. This training reinforces the importance of safe handling, maintenance, and workspace organization to minimize risks.

Course Topics

  • Electrical Hazards: Identify electrical safety concerns and safe operating procedures.
  • Good Housekeeping: Learn how cleanliness and organization reduce laboratory risks.
  • Ergonomic Risk Factors: Understand posture, workstation setup, and repetitive strain prevention.
  • Sharps: Review safe handling and disposal of needles, blades, and glass.
  • Compressed Gas: Learn storage, labeling, and operation safety for gas cylinders.
  • Cryogens: Understand hazards related to extremely cold materials and proper PPE use.
  • Autoclaves & Centrifuges: Review safe procedures for using and maintaining laboratory equipment.
  • Microtomes: Identify cutting hazards and safe operating techniques.
  • Noise: Recognize sources of excessive noise and appropriate protective measures.
