Handling hazardous chemicals and specimens requires a great deal of caution. If substances are not properly controlled, hazards can spread and contaminate other materials, work areas... even employees themselves. With many laboratories using toxic, corrosive and carcinogenic chemicals, employees need to do all they can to prevent contamination.

MARCOM's training products on "Preventing Contamination in the Laboratory" emphasize the need to recognize situations that could lead to contamination, and discuss what can be done to prevent contamination from occurring. 

All of the products... our original DVDs and full-length online courses as well as the new "Micro-Learning" and "Adaptive Learning" courses... discuss topics that are integral to employees' understanding of these issues.

Topics covered in these products include:

  • How contamination occurs.
  • General preventative measures.
  • Engineering controls.
  • Safe work practices.
  • Personal protective equipment.
  • and more.

Available in English. Available individually, or as part of MARCOM's 12-program Laboratory Safety Series.

The "Preventing Contamination in the Laboratory" MicroLearning curriculum includes the following 3-5 minute courses:

  • "Protective Equipment and Engineering Controls"
  • "Safe Work Practices"
  • "Taking Precautions Against Contamination"
  • "Protecting Materials and Equipment"

Adaptive Learning

Model Number: lss_201_adl_en
Runtime: 10-30 minutes
Adaptive Learning

“Adaptive Learning” takes advantage of an employee’s existing knowledge to create training courses that are customized for that employee, and don’t “reteach” them things that they already know. In other words, the Adaptive Learning process determines what an employee already knows about a topic, then structures courses that contain only the information that the employee needs to complete their knowledge of the topic.

These individually customized courses eliminate the largest employee complaint about safety training (“I already know most of this stuff, so why do I have to go through this training again?!”), while potentially recapturing thousands of hours of lost productivity.

MARCOM’s Adaptive Learning courses test employees before they take the course. Then based on the questions that they answer correctly, the course itself determines if the employee knows enough about the information in each chapter in the course to “test out” of that chapter… and if they do, automatically reconfigures the course to skip those chapters.

Reconfiguring the courses in this way typically saves about 50% of an employee’s time in taking a course. Over a year’s time this can recapture a significant amount of lost productivity time for a company of any size, and result in hundreds of thousands of dollars of annual savings.
