Staff and Student Lab Orientation
The chemical safety orientation for new laboratory users consists of two courses and a Site Orientation. The introductory course is our Student Lab Safety Orientation course, available for self-registration on Moodle. Staff and students must participate in this course to work in a lab, especially if they will operate outside the immediate supervision of the principal investigator. This course covers aspects of laboratory safety such as fumehood use, protective equipment and clothing requirements, lab waste handling and process, spill response, emergency response and WHMIS labeling.
Please review the UNBC Chemical Safety & Methodology Manual in preparation for the SLSO course. This course will take approximately three hours to complete.
