1.       No, unless the course instructor requires it. (I don’t know if any do.)

2.       Yes, if they take our online general lab safety training.

3.       No

4.       No; however, we do have a one-credit course on lab safety for grad students in Engineering. Undergrads are allowed to take that course.

 

Illinois is a pretty large school.

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.
