Laboratory Safety
Lab safety is a top priority of the Office of Environmental Health and Safety. This is due to the inherent risks associated with working in a lab at the University that may contain chemicals, compressed gases, infectious agents, radioactive materials or radiation producing equipment. The professional staff of the EH&S Office is available to consult with anyone working in a lab on how to safely handle these materials. The EH&S Office routinely offers training on a variety of topics relating to lab safety. Please feel free to contact us at 442-3495 or during normal business hours in Chemistry B73, if you have any questions regarding lab safety.
