Updated January 2003 Chapter 7 The intent of a laboratory safety program is to provide guidance and training to all laboratory workers who use hazardous substances or engage in potentially hazardous laboratory operations. Experience in industry has shown that the laboratory can be a safe workplace, however, this achievement was accomplished ONLY by the implementation of vigorous safety planning and training sessions. Educational activities shall be provided for all persons who may be exposed to potential hazards in connection with laboratory operations including faculty members, students, lab supervisors, lab workers, maintenance workers, janitorial and storeroom personnel. If other non-lab related offices are nearby, consideration should be given to providing these workers with the necessary knowledge to protect them (which might be as simple as telling them which door to use in case of an emergency). This training process shall be a part of new employee indoctrination or reassignment. Institutional safety education programs shall be a regular continuous activity and not once-a-year presentations provided for groups of new students or employees. The following sections are intended as resource documents for administrative benefit.
