Learning Objectives

Each objective describes a laboratory safety competency . PPE, containment, and incident response, not clinical treatment of exposed persons beyond laboratory first-response framing.

Select gloves, coats/gowns, eye/face protection, and respiratory PPE based on task splash/aerosol risk and institutional policy
