Hi Karen,

The Lab Standard states "the frequency of refresher information and training shall be determined by the employer."

At UAA, we have several conditions listed in our CHP that determine when refresher training will occur: 1) annually, 2) prior to teaching a class or starting a research project,3) the occurrence of an accident or incident, 4) regulation changes, and 5) direction from EHS.

I've been doing my annual review of the regulations and I wanted to poll the audience here, particularly academic institutions, to see how often you require lab safety training? Both Haz Com and the Lab Standard require it when you start and when new hazards are introduced, but have no requirement for refresher training. Most of the other clients who use the management software we are moving to keep to that and only require it once. I'm hoping to get a larger sample size by asking here.

Thank you,
