Lab Safety
The Department of Chemistry at 澳门六合彩官网直播 strives to promote a culture of safety in the laboratory. Safety is an integral part of a successful work environment and is an essential ingredient of a well-rounded educational program involving chemical instruction and research. The primary safety related goal of the department is to create and nourish an atmosphere in which individuals are encouraged to recognize the value of safety to themselves and others.
The safety program is supported by the department's safety, ethics, and compliance committee. The committee exercises oversight of lab safety, coordinates with Environmental Health and Safety, and advocates for compliance with University and local, state, or federal regulatory policies. The committee also reviews and updates the safety manual.
