Lab Safety Primer

Each ESD laboratory maintains a Lab Safety Primer that provides ready access to information needed to work safely. This manual will include copies of all relevant work authorizations, documentation of "on the job training and other items as noted in the TEMPLATES below. Each person working in a laboratory should know the location of the safety manual and read it.

Following are templates that you may use, originally developed by Margaret Torn's lab, with subsequent contributions from ESD researchers. Please customize them as appropriate for your space.

TEMPLATES

Describe the hazards in your lab(s) and any ongoing ES&H issues that either need to be addressed or resolution is in progress, one paragraph to one page in length. Examples: Jim Bishop's lab, Carl Steefel's labs.
