Research on Safety.

1. What is OSHA? Explain. OSHA is to ensure safe and healthful working conditions
for workers by setting and enforcing standards and by providing training,
outreach, education and assistance.
2. Demonstrate knowledge on how to use PPE
a. identify the PPE needed for everyday situations. PPE needed for everyday situations are
saftey glasses
b. explain the differences in protection between a surgical mask and an N95 respirator. One of
the major differences between a surgical mask and a N95 filtering face
piece respirator is that surgical masks are not intended to provide
respiratory protection to the wearer since they do not effectively filter
smaller airborne particles
c. perform a brief risk assessment and select appropriate PPE for a given situation; and
d. describe the differences between PPE Levels A, B, C, and D. Level A - To be selected when
the greatest level of skin, respiratory, and eye protection is required. Level B - The highest
level of respiratory protection is necessary but a lesser level of skin protection is needed.
Level C - The concentration(s) and type(s) of airborne substance(s) is known and the criteria
for using air purifying respirators are met. Level D - A work uniform affording minimal
protection: used for nuisance contamination only.

3. Fire kit, fire extinguisher, eye wash solution or station

a. Why are emergency showers or eyewash stations important? If chemicals are being
used in the facility, a worker could be splashed with a corrosive chemical
or be exposed to a chemical vapor, and therefore need access to a
drench shower to rinse their entire body
b. Emergency Showers. What are them? emergency showers are designed to flush
the user's head and body. They should not be used to flush the user's eyes
because the high rate or pressure of water flow could damage the eyes in
some instances.
c. Eyewash and Eye/Face Wash Stations. What are them? Eyewash stations are
designed to flush the eye and face area only.
d. Eyewash Bottles. What are them? Bottled Eyewash provides an immediate
supplement that assists injured workers before reaching an eyewash
station.
4. FIRE EXTINGUISHERS. What is this, And the type to use in a lab or a veterinary practice. a
portable device that discharges a jet of water, foam, gas, or other material to extinguish a
fire. for a lab is ABC, a dry chemical unit, which is able to manage A, B, and C
fires.
a.
5. Handling and disposable “sharps” containers
a. How to handle and dispose the “sharps”
b. DOs and DON'Ts of Proper Sharps Disposal. Describe this.
