10/13/2021: Lab Resource: CDC Publishes New Free Online Laboratory Risk Management Training
Audience: Clinical Laboratory Testing Staff; Staff Supporting Laboratory Safety
Level: Laboratory Resource
CDC’s Division of Laboratory Systems recently published the Introduction to Laboratory Risk Management (LRM) eLearning course. This is the first in a series of courses focused on developing risk management strategies for laboratory settings. This course is relevant to laboratories involved in COVID-19 testing. At the conclusion of this course, the learner will be able to:
- Recognize the importance and benefits of risk management.
- Define terms associated with risk management.
- List the major processes in risk management and associated activities.
- Identify the importance of ensuring dynamic continual improvement.
The course takes about one hour to complete, and learners can earn 1.0 P.A.C.E.® credit.
This training builds on the Division’s portfolio of risk management resources, including content like Biological Risk Assessment: General Considerations for Laboratories and Biological Risk Management for Point-of-Care Testing Sites. This course can be syndicated in organizations’ learning management systems, so it is always available to staff members.
