Are you interested in conducting research in a laboratory? Prior to stepping inside a UNLV lab and working alongside faculty research mentors, undergraduate researchers are required to take a chemical hygiene training course. This workshop, facilitated by Risk Management & Safety (RMS), fulfills this requirement. RMS staff will cover a variety of lab safety techniques and hazards to avoid.

Learning Objectives

By participating in this workshop you will:

• Understand the mechanics of lab safety
• Learn the types of hazards that exist inside a research lab and how to safely conduct research with chemicals and other agents
• Learn about the required precautions when conducting research in a lab

Presenters

• Julie Bertoia, Technical Quality Assurance Specialist, Department of Chemistry
• George Fratus, RMS, Environmental Management & Lab Safety Manager
