“Analysts from West Liberty have attended various Alloway seminars. We found the seminars to be invaluable. The time was well spent, the material was presented in a very organized and straightforward manner, and the instructors moved at a pace that was comfortable for the group. The seminars were also practical, as we were able to apply the learning in our own lab. Great seminars!”

Chemicals, Reagents and Supplies
Run Time: 24 minutes

Who will benefit: This course is targeted to the needs of laboratory supervisors, managers, field technicians, analysts and operators who perform laboratory measurements in environmental laboratories, wastewater treatment plant, water plant, and commercial laboratories.
This course will benefit those who are responsible for the quality of laboratory data.

Learning Objectives: This video will show you safe laboratory practices and procedures to ensure the safety of all laboratory personnel. You will learn about the OSHA guidelines dictating a Chemical Hygiene Plan and the key elements of that regulation that includes procedures and policies to ensure that employees are protected from all potentially hazardous chemicals. You will be introduced to the chemicals needed to perform laboratory testing and the most common grades of those chemicals. The video demonstrates practices to be followed for reagent receipt to ensure the integrity of the chemicals received meet the laboratory standard operating procedure and has not been compromised. This training will show you the importance of reagent documentation and how to provide traceability of all reagents. You will learn about different types of filters and the correct filter to use for specific laboratory analyses. This training will cover the requirements for water suitable for use in methods of chemical analysis and physical testing. You will also learn about standards and the correct process for preparation, usage, and documentation of standards in laboratory testing.

Course Description: This training video specifically defines safety regulations and guidelines for laboratory personnel. It shows ways to help ensure employees are trained and are familiar with safe laboratory practices and procedures. It takes a look at the many grades of chemicals that are available, as well as guiding you through proper documentation of those chemicals and reagents. This training also shows proper techniques for using supplies, such as filters and reagent water. Proper reagent usage and documentation are very important and the methods to do so are demonstrated throughout the video. It helps to familiarize you with the many supply choices and the proper ways to handle and document their usage in the laboratory. Beginning analysts, experienced analysts, plant operators and specifically those involved with laboratory testing will benefit.
