In every setting there should be a policy and procedures on whistle blowing. The whistle blowing Policy is put into place to provide protection against the person in the work place against victimisation or any form of punishment (physical or verbal) when concerns are genuine. If you suffer any victimisation or punishment due to whistleblowing you may be able to take your case to an Employment Tribunal. If you have any concerns about misconduct or malpractice that is occurring in your work setting you should report it to your manager/supervisor. All information given is confidential. The whistleblower is a person that discloses wrongdoing that threatens others, rather than a complaint about their own treatment.

This essay is about why lab procedures and practice must be communicated in a lab.

Cleaning products, chemicals, first aid supplies must be clearly and correctly labeled. Any substances that are deemed harmful such as irritants and toxic or corrosive substances must not be used unless a risk assessment has been carried out and a procedure in place for its use.

There are guidelines/protocols that have been put in place by the trust that must be adhered to by all staff. Ensure that I am dressed appropriately so that my clothing does not compromise my safety or the patients. Ensure work/clinical areas void of equipment that may constitute a hazard if stored or left in the wrong place. There is adequate information and training provided by the trust to ensure competency and safe working. For instance, when in the mould room, I have been trained to use equipment and been made aware of safe working when using the various materials and substances in the mould (i.e. lead, hot water). The body absorbs lead when you breathe in the lead dust or swallow lead when you bite your nails after working with lead

There are many hazards in different scientific environments, in this assessment the Jack Hunt School Science Laboratory, the Peterborough Power Station and the Jack Hunt School Kitchens will be the different scientific environments observed. The hazards in each environment, the safety legislation that is put in place to prevent danger as well as other safety measures that are taken by those who work in these environments will be explained.

Evaluation of new health and safety legislation, codes of practice and other integral health and safety updates are the key to a successful safety management system. As I have mentioned in unit 501, there is no such thing as a health and safety expert, maybe in their specific fields but certainly not in all areas. This is why at Berwin Industrial Polymers Ltd (BIP) all avenues of information concerning health and safety information are explored and used.

This includes annual training and regular communications about safe handling. In addition to this, companies are required to maintain an accurate and readily available Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) book for employees. An MSDS is a concise summary of what the product is, who manufactured it and how to respond to any contact. For example, the MSDS book is an important reference that will document how cleaning chemicals are specifically unsafe and what to do if it gets on the skin or in the

The list of hazardous substances by work area, and for each employee requiring evaluation, his or her work area or job.

Universities and schools all over the country teach common core science, and many of the higher-grade classes work in a laboratory, as do many professionals who work in this field. Everyone who works or teaches in such an environment must be sure to take proper precautions, as they could be conducting dangerous experiments. Even if such precautions are taken, accidents do happen, sometimes lethal.

I have recently been hired as a safety manager for a chemical manufacturing company. Dosit Corporation not only sells the over 780 chemicals that they manufacture to other manufactures; they also sell them to be used in household cleaning products. Dosit employs a total of 290 employees. I am the first safety manager to be hired within this corporation. I have received all files for the existing safety policies and records. After I have completely reviewed all of the provided documentation for the existing safety policies and records I will have a better understanding of the steps I will need to take to develop and implement a working safety plan, have all SDS’s and labels up to date and in accordance with all laws and regulations,
