​Hello Stefan


I hope all is well!  I have summarized our approach here.  It is a good point - but I don't know if we could get traction on a for credit safety course.


Undergrads in teaching labs (non-research) are required to be supervised by trained TA's, research faculty, or lab supervisors who are trained.  The TA's and lab support staff are required to take the full training in addition to review of a safety manual specific to the course.  The UG's must review the safety information for the class and for each weekly lab session.  We do not track UG training in a database but they do document both the course and weekly lab safety review.


LEt me know if you need more on this!


Regards

Michael


1.        Do they attend the same training offered by EH&S for all lab workers?  

2.       Do their names get entered in the same database?

3.       Does your institution offer a full day introductory lab safety seminar?

4.       Does your institution offer a one credit course for UGs in lab safety?

I’m  really  enjoying the feedback so far-  thanks to all who have responded, and for those who may still-  I appreciate this forum!

 

It appears that the Hill/Finster text gets is getting popular-  I’m hoping to use it too.  Good job, Bob  &  David .

This topic probably has come up before, but I am interested in how other colleges & universities address UG lab safety training.  This would not be for  UGs in research labs, who may be getting a stipend or credit. 

 

1.        Do they attend the same training offered by EH&S for all lab workers?

2.       Do their names get entered in the same database?

3.       Does your institution offer a full day introductory lab safety seminar?

4.       Does your institution offer a one credit course for UGs in lab safety?

 

 

Thanks for the responses.  Let me know if you are a large school or small college- that may impact  answers.
