Thank you all for your helpful suggestions and information. My response to the lab fell somewhere in the middle of all the responses received here. We do try to partner with our labs, but unfortunately we
do not have the resources to provide any funding for this.
I hope you all have a great weekend!
Regards,
ALEX HAGEN

Alex: A few simple suggestions. Find out if your department has an actual safety committee. If it is non-functional, then get one started. The university should
have a committee for campus safety and security. Try to find it and get it involved.

If no committees are obvious, then find the campus fire marshall. The fire marshall should be coordinating almost all safety issues on campus. Many years ago, I served on the chem department safety committee and the chair of the department did not want to
put "safety glasses required" signs on student labs. One call to the fire marshall and the signs were up. Your project is somewhat more expensive, but most universities have channes to employ, you just have to get to the right ones.
