         Supporting the campus's chemical inventory program;

         Developing and presenting various safety training programs for faculty, staff, and students;

         Conducting follow-up and reporting for Lab Safety Events (incidents and near misses) to identify root causes and corrective actions. 

 

The Laboratory Safety Specialist will also provide support to the EHRS emergency response team and respond (on call) to hazardous materials incidents on a rotating basis.
