EH&S provides limited laboratory safety services to teaching labs. Teaching labs generally use minimal hazards in a relatively controlled environment. The instructors are expected to understand the type of hazards used and should be qualified to supervise students to perform their lab work safely.
EH&S picks up any hazardous chemical and infectious waste generated in teaching labs and certifies chemical fume hoods. Otherwise, EH&S is primarily available as support to provide guidance upon request. Teaching laboratories may contact us for the following:
- answer lab safety or compliance questions
- perform a lab safety walkthrough
- review new teaching lab design plans
- investigate a reported lab incident (only if exposure to a hazardous material)
