Subject: Safety Training Procedures and Policies
Hello All,
I have been given the task of gathering information from other
universities and colleges (sorry to exclude those of you in industry)
regarding their safety training programs and safety procedures. I
have posted some questions below and would greatly appreciate any
feedback from individuals working in academia. Please do not feel
the need to answer all of the questions.
Thank you, Liz Schmidt
1. What is the size and make up of your unit/school/college? Do you
serve both undergraduate and graduate students? What is the
percentage of undergrad and grad students?
2. What are your current safety policies and procedures for students,
postdocs, and non-research personnel?
3. How do you enforce your safety policies and procedures? Who does
the enforcing of the procedures and policies?
4. What type of safety training do you provide to students, postdocs,
and non-research personnel?
5. What penalties, if any, are imposed on those that do not comply
with safety policies and procedures? What penalties are imposed on
repeat violators of safety policies, for example individuals that
refuse to wear proper PPE in the lab?
6. Are Principal Investigators involved in the safety policies and
procedures? If so, how are they involved?
