Safety and Compliance Inspections

EH&S Laboratory Safety Specialists conduct annual inspections of research and teaching laboratories, academic shops, and art studios. Each supervisor receives a written summary of any deficiencies found and how to correct them. The Chemical Hygiene Plan and Lab Safety Quick Reference Guide offer guidelines for a safe and compliant working and learning environment.

Training

Lab personnel must complete EH&S Laboratory and Research Safety Training every year. See the EH&S Training page for more information and to register for training courses. Additional training is required when laboratories use recombinant DNA, infectious agents, select agents, biological toxins, lasers, X-rays, radioisotopes, and/or radiation producing machines.  See the RIC Training page for more information. Safety training must also be provided by the supervisor on research-specific topics before work begins.
