This site is intended to provide guidance to facilities personnel, support staff, and laboratory occupants when maintenance, repair, renovation, or construction or abandonment activities must take place in a lab.
Laboratories present an unfamiliar environment for many employees who are not directly engaged in research or teaching. Support staff employees and contractors whose job responsibilities require them to work in these areas must communicate with laboratory occupants before beginning work to avoid creating a situation that may be hazardous to one or both parties.
This site outlines the responsibilities of all affected parties and generalized safety procedures to be followed by affected parties before, during, and after work commences. This document also contains standard operating procedures (SOPs) for working safely when working on specific laboratory systems.
