Who Needs Lab Training?
Faculty, Staff, or Undergraduate or Graduate students working in an unsupervised research setting would be considered laboratory workers and must complete the safety training. So for example, a student working on an independent project in a laboratory will need to take training, as well as their supervisor. Students working as part of a structured class will receive the appropriate training from the instructor not from EHS.
How do I know if my work area is a lab or not?
It isn't always obvious if a work area is a lab space or not. Computer labs are obviously not and Chemistry labs obviously are. Your work area will probably fall under the "lab" definition if it has compressed gases, fume hoods or other safety equipment, electrical hazards, lasers, or hazardous chemicals. If you aren't sure please contact our office.
Directions to the EHS Office:
Turn into the Infirmary/Harper's Ferry parking lot on East Access road and walk down the bottom of the hill nearest the Johnson Hall loading dock. You may enter through the doors facing Johnson Hall marked "Environmental Heal and Safety". The office is straight ahead. If you enter through the main Infirmary doors (across the bridge) you will need to go downstairs.
