Ritchie and Slawson Halls Lab Policy

Guidelines

Follow the lab safety manual procedures highlighted on the EHS Webpage.
- NO OPEN TOE SHOES!
- DO NOT WEAR LAB COATS OR GLOVES OUTSIDE THE LAB!
Labs are PRIVATE and all users must have permission to be in a lab
Doors must NEVER be propped open or left unsecured
NEVER walk through a lab without a purpose (no passing through)
For tours, you MUST have prior approval from the lab manager or PI before accessing the lab.
Consequences for not abiding by safe lab practices will be removal of access and/or being banned from the labs
Because there are multiple labs in one area, each floor should have a list of hazards in a centralized location (i.e. the cloud) so all users know what is around them. Talk to your advisor/lab manager on where this document is located.
The custodians DO NOT clean lab spaces. It is up to the lab users to take their trash to the dumpster outside of Slawson and to keep their space cleaned/sanitized.

Lab Safety Manual
- Faculty members and Lab Managers - it is your responsibility to make sure your students and others in your lab(s) understand the lab safety protocols.
- Report any person who is not abiding by the safety rules to Isabelle so she can remove their access to the labs.
Hazardous Materials/Waste Management Manual
EHS Policies

Make sure your faculty advisor or the lab manager has confirmed your lab safety training
The faculty member and/or lab manager will email Isabelle stating it's ok for so-in-so to have access
- This policy applies to everyone on campus to include faculty and staff. Just because someone is a faculty member in chemistry or another dept. does not mean, he/she/they will have access to the EEEC labs. Prior approval from the lab owner is a must!
