General Lab, Shop & Studio Safety

Principle Investigators (PIs) is the primary individual responsible for the preparation, conduct, and administration of a research grant, cooperative agreement, training or public service project, contract, or other sponsored project in compliance with applicable laws and regulations and institutional policy governing the conduct of sponsored research. They are responsible for planning, safety and compliance, managing the research team, reporting adverse event, and lab setup.

Lab Safety Coordinators (LSCs) play an important role in promoting safety awareness and communication across the campus research community. LSCs are research staff and other key department personnel who liaise between labs and EHS to promote safety and environmental compliance.  EHS holds monthly LSC meetings during the academic year to discuss community lab safety updates as well as other important safety topics.  LSCs are appointed by each department.  They are familiar with their departments' operations and help to disseminate safety information to labs.  LSCs have a good understanding of lab safety requirements and serve as a resource for faculty, staff, and students within their respective departments. 

The programs on the right are available to support all lab, shop, and studio personnel.
