Introduction
  Laboratory Safety is a Daily Affair

To convey chemical health and safety information, the University has made this safety training course available as an online resource for University employees. The course is organized according to the daily routine of designing and conducting scientific experiments.

The safeguards described in this course will protect laboratory workers from unsafe conditions in most situations. However, be aware that there are instances when either additional or fewer safeguards may be required or suffice. Professional judgment must be used when applying these standard procedures. The Office of Environmental Health and Safety is always available to assist you in determining which procedures apply to your situation.
