Environmental Health and Safety
Environmental Health and Safety (EH&S) provides a broad range of services to the university to promote the protection of its community. Their web site includes biological, chemical and lab safety information and MSDS links. Every graduate student should be aware of his/her responsibilities in handling an accident in lab, whether in the teaching labs or in your research lab, including how to pursue medical attention when needed and how to report an accident. Your initial contact in any emergency should be Campus Police (x8-2323) or if an incident doesn't require an immediate response, you can contact EH&S. The university does not recommend students calling 911; Campus Police will determine if that is needed and take care of that if appropriate.
