Research and Laboratory Safety Training

Training requirements for laboratory personnel are based on the type of hazardous materials utilized in the laboratory where research is conducted. Research safety training is designed to ensure you understand and are able to execute proper protective measures to mitigate potential hazards and associated risks. Our training programs are intended to cover the basic principles and practices for safely performing research involving common laboratory hazards.

The Office of Research Safety has defined the training needs and requirements, provisions for refresher training and maintenance of training records. Personnel must not conduct research involving hazardous materials for which they are not properly trained. 


Challenge the conventional. Create the exceptional. No Limits.
