Chemical Safety

The Laboratory Safety and Compliance training course is now “required initial training” for all Principal Investigators, lab managers, lab chemical hygiene officers, and people working in a supervisory role in research and teaching laboratories. The class provides essential information on regulatory, policy, and permit requirements, and addresses hazards and risk assessment to ensure lab safety and compliance.

EH&S collaborated with the Materials Science & Engineering Department to develop a short video about the UW’s chemical waste management process.

Watch the video to get your common waste management questions answered and learn more about properly labeling, storing, and managing hazardous chemical waste.
