Walk Through:

Please schedule a time with our lab manager Ms. Sima Ghavim [email protected] for lab safety approval BRI 58-125. This will familiarize you with where safety related items are in the lab and what to do in the event of an accident. She will also give you a door code to access the various rooms.

You will need to read the lab safety manual and chemical hygiene plan in her office and then sign the page she will give you to indicate you have completed this.
