The University recommends that the following
Teaching Laboratory Safety Guidelines (PDF) be used to ensure the safety
of students enrolled in laboratory classes.These guidelines are contained in the
University's Chemical
Hygiene Plan.
For teaching and training lab classes that use Infectious Agents, Biological Toxins,
and/or rDNA, the class must be approved by the Division of Research Integrity and
Compliance prior to the beginning of the semester. Submit the request using the
DRI&C teaching lab registration form. Also, the Instructor/TA must complete Biosafety Training prior
to the start of the class.
