Learning objectives
At the end of the training, students should have acquired knowledge and skills related to biomedical lab risks (with special attention to bio- and chemical hazard)
Particularly, students should be able to:
1. Learn about prevention and protection systems in biomedical lab
2. Know chemicals hazard classification and labelling in accordance with EU legislation REACH and CLP
3. How to use material safety data sheet (MSDS) and label
4. How to use Individual Protection Devices (DPI) and fume cupboard for chemicals
5. Know the medical surveillance related to biomedical lab risk
