EHS Open “Office” Hours
You asked, and we listened. Starting in January 2024, one of our safety team advisors will host a monthly open Zoom meeting for anyone on campus to drop in and ask any safety-related question you have. If you don’t have a question, come anyway. We will have a 1-2 slide presentation each month to cover one of the top issues we see during our annual lab reviews.
Biohazardous Waste Tub Shortages and Grey Tubs
You may have noticed occasional shortages of biohazardous waste tubs and lids, as well as the appearance of grey tubs alongside the regular red tubs.
EHS Laboratory Safety Seminar
Please join the Environmental Health & Safety Office for a seminar focusing on safety in the lab. Seminars will be presented at the beginning of each academic term – Fall, Spring and Summer.
