Lab Safety/Hazardous Waste Training

Initial Lab Safety Training and Hazardous waste training required for students, faculty, and staff working in a Laboratory. Returning Students/Faculty/Staff who have taken this training in person before are eligible to take the training online.
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.
