Study Notes

Risk Management and Safety

When working on a roof, checking the compatibility of materials with roofing materials is crucial to ensure safety and compliance.
Personal gas monitoring devices should be worn attached to the collar or near the face to detect gas concentrations in the breathing zone.
There are two primary types of risk transfer mechanisms in risk management: physical risk transfer and contractual risk transfer.

Training and Communication

If an employee behaves rudely during training, the trainer should take appropriate action.
A risk register is a tool used to document risk when communicating results of a risk assessment to stakeholders.

Radiation Safety

The "ALARA" (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) principle is used in radiation safety to minimize exposure to ionizing radiation.

Evidence Handling

The "chain of custody" is a concept used to track and document evidence, samples, or materials throughout their handling and transfer.

Laboratory Safety

New employees handling chemicals in a warehouse should be provided with a Safety Data Sheet (SDS).
There are four levels of biosafety, with Level I being the lowest and Level IV being the highest.
Level III biosafety includes performing manipulations in biological safety cabinets and enforcing controlled access to the laboratory.
Level IV biosafety includes all manipulations in biological cabinets, sealing openings, and special engineering to prevent infection or escape of hazardous agents.

Confined Space Entry

Before entering a confined space, it is essential to check the necessary safety equipment and protocols.
