Autoclaving Training Log

The autoclave can sterilize materials using heated steam in pressure vessels. An autoclave is a critical tool for managing infectious agents and the sterilization of equipment. Technicians must be trained in proper use and management of the system. For example, technicians must practice safety measures while loading and unloading the autoclave or working with potentially hazardous materials. The Autoclaving Training Log app records details about technicians who have completed autoclave training. With this app, trainees can acknowledge and sign that they have read and understood the autoclave safety information. By signing, a technician commits to the policy, requirements, autoclave safety practices and required personal protective equipment, and accident reporting outlined in the policy. An app user can include the make and model of the autoclave along with its location in the lab. The Autoclaving Training Log app is an organizational tool that promotes accountability and confidence in operating procedures of the autoclave and is essential to the health and safety of the autoclave room and the entire facility.
