Chemical Safety Training

Orientation

New laboratory users (i.e., research students, graduate students post-doctoral fellows, research associates, adjunct professors, volunteers) must participate in the Laboratory Safety & Methodology Orientation if they will work in a lab outside of the immediate supervision of the principal investigator.  The Laboratory Safety & Methodology Orientation is a three hour long training session that covers aspects of laboratory safety and laboratory functioning (e.g., fumehood use, PPE selection, laboratory waste handling, dress requirements, spill response, emergency response, WHMIS labelling). 

Training Presentations

The PowerPoint presentation from the Laboratory Safety & Methodology Orientation, along with other laboratory related training presentations is available for review and information purposes.  Note: reviewing the Laboratory Safety & Methodology Orientation online does not replace the requirement of attending a session.
