Molecular Biology is currently implementing an orientation program for new lab managers. Part of the orientation includes an explanation of the various safety programs and the lab manager's responsibility for safety in the laboratory. Laboratory Checkout Procedures Chemical Engineering, Chemistry and CEE have established checkout procedures for departing faculty, staff and students. This program is meant to ensure that all chemicals are labeled and wastes removed before a person leaves the university. Safety Information Postings Chemical Engineering and CEE have safety information bulletin boards outside the main office.
Physics posts safety information in the elevators.
Chemical Engineering developed an emergency information and evaluation poster that is placed inside the door to each laboratory area. Professor Jacob's laboratory in Psychology has very nice safety reminder posters throughout the laboratory. Professor Hecht's laboratory in Chemistry has waste procedures posted in the laboratory. Professor Shenks' laboratory has outstanding signage posted to aid in properly labeling chemical waste containers. This includes a poster with samples of correctly completed labels for its regular waste streams.
