Ammonia is a hazardous chemical used as a refrigerant and in fertilizers. Low-level exposures can irritate the eyes, skin and respiratory tract and can be fatal in higher concentrations. This video demonstrates safe procedures for working with ammonia.

Ammonia can have negative consequences on your workers health, and if not handled properly, can cause an explosion or fire at your site. Don't let a common chemical become an injury or accident source at your site. Teach your workers proper handling, hazards awareness and best safety practices. This program will cover: what is ammonia, potential hazards, and best safety practices when working with it.

This program reviews these three key issues and many other precautions that protect employees from H2S exposures when followed.

Whether working in a manufacturing plant, laboratory, mine or public utility, your employees' health depends on understanding the potential hazards of hydrogen sulfide, which is a poison that can kill. This program teaches employees what hydrogen sulfide is, its effects, air monitoring requirements, personal protective equipment, emergency response and first aid procedures.

This program discusses the need to set up work areas correctly, as well as how to minimize the strain of using laboratory equipment, tools and instruments. Topics covered in these products include: parts of the body most susceptible to ergonomic problems, arranging work areas to minimize stress and strain, working from "neutral" positions, most and least stressful types of body movements, proper lifting techniques and effective stretching exercises.

This program emphasize how to properly use laboratory hoods and how to test them to ensure correct functioning... as well as discuss how hoods can protect an experiment, the facility, and most importantly, the employee. Topics covered in these products include: why laboratory hoods are needed, protections afforded by hoods, various types of hoods found in laboratories, how hoods function mechanically, proper use of laboratory hoods and testing and maintenance.

Practice always makes perfect. Through this program, seasoned laboratory employees can review safety techniques and general procedures they may have forgotten since their initial training. Based on OSHA 1910.1450, it covers: hazardous materials in labs, fume hoods, emergency showers and eyewashes, chemical storage, and using chemicals safely.

Lead exposure can cause serious health problems and exposure can occur in at least 120 different occupations. This video outlines the precautions each employee should take to prevent overexposure.

In order to comply with OSHA's Lead Construction Standard your employees should know how lead can enter the body and how they can protect themselves from lead exposure. This program offers helpful tips to avoid the threat of environmental lead.

Workers that are exposed to lead in the workplace face many illnesses and health concerns, but these issues can be easily avoided. This comprehensive training program teaches construction and renovation workers important safety precautions to take while working around lead hazards, such as the appropriate PPE to wear and how to zone off the work area to keep toxic dust to a minimum.

This program reviews the various sections of the MSDS, what information can be found in each section and most importantly, how this information can help employees to work safely in their laboratory. Topics covered in these products include: the purpose of Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs), sections of the MSDS, information found in each section and how MSDS information can help employees work safely.

This program shows both new employees and "seasoned veterans" the importance of safety in the laboratory, as well as reviews the OSHA regulations and good safety practices that apply to laboratory environments. Topics covered in these products include: OSHA regulations, Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs), planning safe experiments, Personal Protective Equipment, ventilation controls, Chemical storage, accidents and emergencies and waste disposal

This program discusses how to minimize damage and prevent injuries if a laboratory emergency should occur. Topics covered in these products include: the Emergency Plan, types of emergencies occurring in laboratories, alarms and warning systems, contacting outside agencies, evacuation and fires, explosions and chemical spills.

This program emphasizes the need to recognize situations that could lead to contamination, and discuss what can be done to prevent contamination from occurring.
