Effective safety training should be a blend of theoretical knowledge and practical skills. Key components include: - Initial Orientation: Comprehensive introduction to lab-specific hazards and safety practices for new members. - Hands-On Training: Practical sessions on safely handling reactants, catalysts, and operating high-pressure equipment. - Regular Refresher Courses: Periodic training to keep safety knowledge current and address any new risks or changes in procedures. - Emergency Drills: Simulated emergency scenarios to practice response protocols, such as chemical spills or fires.
