Let’s talk school lab/shop risk management! This one-day workshop will prepare educators to identify various risks that are inherent to lab/shop environments as well as implement proven engineering and administrative approaches to manage such risks. For any individual who teaches in a laboratory/shop environment, managing the numerous risks that are present is critical to minimizing the occurrence of people, legal, property, public and ultimately financially-based losses.
Participants will learn how to:
- Differentiate the five fundamental types of hazards that are common to school laboratory/shop settings.

- Identify the necessary steps involved in the development and implementation of a school laboratory/shop hazard inspection program.
- Carry through the necessary response measures associated with the control of identified equipment as well as facility-based hazards.
- Conduct and document a school laboratory/shop equipment as well as housekeeping based inspection.
- Describe the importance of utilizing a standardized school laboratory/shop maintenance program.
- Evaluate the use of required personal protective equipment from a correct application as well as use standpoint.
- Identify the steps necessary to develop and implement an effective school laboratory/shop risk management system.
