Safety Fact Sheets

Certain materials and procedures that are common and necessary in laboratories across campus have significant hazards associated with them. EH&S has authored fact sheets to assist laboratories in addressing these hazards. These fact sheets cover essential information on the hazards, safety protocols, recommended personal protective equipment, and emergency response procedures. These fact sheets can serve as starting points and references for laboratory personnel.
