Is there any formal lab safety training?
Yes! Everyone who works in a lab is required to take the on-line safety training offered by the University’s Safety & Health department. Go to www.drexelsafetyandhealth.com and select the “Training” tab at the top, and then select the “general lab/chemical training” tab. You will need to enter your Drexel Student ID # to proceed (that way there’s a record of you having taken the training, and periodically the department receives a report of who has taken the training…and therefore we also know who hasn’t!), and from there onwards it’s self-paced…just read the text and answer the questions. If you have specific safety-related questions not addressed by the above then go find Dr. Richard Knight (LeBow 335, x1844, knightr@coe.drexel.edu) and he will try to answer them, or will find out the answer and get back to you.
