The purpose of the general laboratory safety training is to provide all students and staff in the School of Chemical Sciences (SCS) with the information that they will need to become proficient and safe users of the School research spaces.

As a basic level of safety training is a prerequisite to being granted access to SCS facilities, every year you must complete the following:

Review the Slides
Read the Safety Guidelines and Using Chemicals
Visit the University Chemical Risk Management Protocol
Take the Safety Quiz
Complete an in-person SCS Laboratory Induction for your lab and upload a signed copy on the corresponding Induction Page.

If you are a new student or staff member, after completing the quiz & lab induction you can apply for access using the SCS Access request form
