<I am looking to understand "best practices" for safety refresher training. >
My "recommendation" (read: requirement) has been the following:
Annual refresher:
Injury and Illness Prevention Program (Cal/OSHA)
Emergency Action Plan (Cal/OSHA)
Spill Response (County Environmental Health)
Campus Lab Safety Manual (which includes the campus Chemical Hygiene Plan)
Laboratory-Specific Lab Safety Plan
Folks are free to select pieces of these documents/programs which make the most sense for them to highlight in their various workplaces. Some folks will roll
all of this into an annual powerpoint, along with lab-specific issues which need updating. They are my rock stars.
3-year Refresher:
Laboratory Safety Fundamentals Training (on-line requirement from the UC System)
Laboratory Standard Operating Procedures (unless the SOPs have changed significantly, then re-training is required at the time of the change)
This schedule is applicable to those who are subject to the requirements of the Lab Standard.
Hope this helps.
