Safety First Webinar
Available On Demand!
Outdated or poorly maintained safety infrastructure can create hidden risks and undermine both performance and accessibility in the laboratory. This Safety First webinar examines how modern lab environments and safety systems can be designed and maintained to protect staff with diverse physical, sensory, and cognitive needs while supporting efficient workflows. Attendees will explore how layout, interfaces, signage, and operating practices influence safe behavior, training effectiveness, and day-to-day usability across the workforce. The session also addresses common contributors to system failure—such as unclear procedures, deferred maintenance, inconsistent use, and aging components—and how proactive, inclusive upkeep strategies extend the life, reliability, and safe use of critical safety systems. Throughout, speakers will highlight how to balance upgrades with maintenance approaches that strengthen safety, accessibility, compliance, and lab performance.
As an attendee, you will learn more about:
- How lab safety infrastructure choices affect accessibility across physical, cognitive, sensory, and procedural dimensions
- Design and communication elements that improve usability, comprehension, and consistent safe behavior
- Practical strategies for embedding accessibility into safety upgrades, maintenance planning, and compliance programs
The Safety First webinar series, brought to you in partnership with Lab Manager Academy, focuses on topics surrounding lab safety and safety standards that can not only improve performance in the lab but can help reduce risk and save lives.
