Risk Assessment For Carcinogenic Substances In The Lab

Among hazardous materials, carcinogenic substances pose the highest health risk. Unlike the immediate and recognizable failures associated with acutely toxic materials, the repercussions of inadequate protective measures when handling carcinogens may only become apparent decades later in the form of cancer. Laboratories can employ technical protective measures to effectively reduce exposure to these substances. In this webinar, you will learn how to apply the STOP hierarchy of protective measures to carcinogens and easily document the four key steps of risk assessment.
