Hi Tricia,
At UChicago, we have an Educational Assignment Team (comprising Research Safety, Risk Management, and Departmental partners) that handles visitor requests. All the necessary forms for various
groups can be found
here. Once the form is submitted along with the purpose of the visit, we assign the appropriate training and proceed accordingly. I hope this helps.

Tricia,
Our guidelines for visitors to UCLA labs are found here:
https://rsawa.research.ucla.edu/wp-content/uploads/guidelines-lab-tours.pdf
Our focus is research labs, but many points would apply to teaching labs as well.
Being in LA, we get quite a few requests for filming in labs, both from outside firms and from students in the UCLA School of Theater, Film, and Television.
Best,
Craig

Good afternoon!
Our chemistry department is looking for visitors policy examples for your teaching labs - particularly for visiting elementary school groups, but would be grateful to see whatever visitors policy you have for your labs.
Do you allow elementary school groups to visit for chemistry demonstrations? What minimum age do you allow to visit (with an adult supervisor present)?
Thanks so much!
