Enviromental Health & Safety (EHS) conducts laboratory safety inspections throughout the research and teaching laboratories in conjunction with the departmental safety officers. These inspections provide a snapshot of laboratory safety and compliance.
Reports are sent to the Principal Investigator (PI) and provides a list of unsafe or unhealthy conditions identified during the inspection. The PI's and researchers are required to sign the receipt acknowledgement form confirming the inspection findings and return it to EHS.
The PI's and researchers are asked to respond to EHS, in writing, within 30 days of the inspection, to indicate how each item has been corrected or indicating a reason or target date for items that could not be corrected. A follow-up inspection by the EHS team may follow.
EHS remains available to provide the necessary support:
