Safety

The safety and well-being of our students, staff and faculty is critical. We aim to provide a supportive environment, where students can ask questions and challenge existing protocols and "how things are done".

Training

The campus environmental health and safety offers a lot of training sessions relevant for different research settings. In addition, the department offers an in person training with our safety committee.

Safety Minutes

To promote a safety culture, the department safety committee presents a brief (1-2 slide) presentation during our department seminar series about different topic areas.

Learning Experience Reporting

As in science, the first step to making a world a better place is understanding the problems and challenges. Safety is no different, to ensure continuous improvement in our safety, we need to have open conversations with ZERO consequences about things which are working and what isn’t. Please use our anonymous survey here to report any issues, incidents or things you would like our committee to know.
