The Chemistry department
requires safety training for
students and all department employees
- teaching, research and stockroom
assistants, as well as faculty and
staff.
Prior to beginning lab, students are
required to watch the department safety
film. On the first day of lab, students
are given a copy of the department's Lab
Safety Rules and must sign a statement
to indicate that they understand and
will abide by these rules. In addition,
each week before lab, safety of the
upcoming experiment is discussed in
the pre-lab lecture.
All paid department employees must
attend training given by the campus
Environmental Safety and Health department
on the campus
Chemical Hygiene Plan (CHP - in
PDF format). This training is a state
requirement per the Laboratory Safety
Standard (WAC 296-62-40001-40025).
In addition to this training, the law
requires that employees read the CHP
- a copy is available on the EH&S
web page using the above link.

of the Chemistry department is held
the first day of class each quarter,
usually at 3:00 pm. This training
session is mandatory.The brochure

Guidelines for Research, Teaching,
and Stockroom Assistants' provides
an overview of the department training.
