Title: Course Safety and Training
Course: ATEP - Biotechnology Module B

Lab Safety
Just as you did in the Technology Park, you must first be trained on safety and security before entering the biotechnology lab in your classroom. Some of the same safety procedures will apply in both laboratories. Some will differ.

As you learned in the Technology Park, biotechnology laboratories are equipped with supplies and equipment that may pose a hazard if used carelessly and it is important that you learn how to handle them properly. It is often the responsibility of a biotechnician to make sure that safety rules are followed, and anyone working in a laboratory must pay attention to what they are doing and use common sense to avoid hazardous situations.

Equipment and Procedures Training

In the Technology Park, you completed an activity that required you to become familiar with the purpose and use of certain pieces of equipment in the laboratory. You must complete the same type of training in this section before moving on to the next section.
