CSM - 201 Laboratory Safety Technician

The Laboratory Safety Technician Badge Level I would be awarded to those individuals that attend a series of laboratory safety seminars.

The students will gain knowledge of laboratory safety and philosophy as a practicing safety professional. 

The seminar topics are:

  • Introduction, Legal Concerns, Regulations for New Lab Personnel 
  • General Chemical Laboratory Safety
  • Biological Hazards and Autoclave Use
  • Spill Awareness
  • Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals 
  • Chemical Storage and Hazardous Waste
  • Compressed Cylinders
  • Ventilation
  • Fire Safety
  • Electrical Safety

The seminars are offered every semester at multiple times and students sign up and attend as their schedule allows.  They are not part of any for-credit classes and are each about 1 hour long.  The end of the series would require an exam, testing their knowledge of the safety practices as well as a safety mindset on the topic of laboratory safety. The training classes do not require any additional costs for the student.


Earning Criteria: Learners demonstrate laboratory safety by attending all safety training seminars within a 2 year period and passing a comprehensive exam (70% or better) within a two year period from signing up for the program. The exam contains 2-3 questions per seminar with some questions of scenarios to test safety perception and mindset.
