Introduction

"Health and safety guidelines are in place not only to protect people and property, but to provide a safety conscious environment that is shared by all laboratory personnel. Our goal is to foster a safety culture within our teaching and research laboratories so that graduates from the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department are familiar with and follow existing industry safety standards."

Please Note: This web site has been developed to provide important safety information for RA's and TA's working in the CEE laboratories. The first step to be taken is to enroll in the ASU Environmental Health and Safety's Chemical Lab Safety training. Please register at the following site: EHS Training Schedule or else call 480-965-4751.

Some of the features of this web page include useful links to other sites (such as OSHA) so that you can be aware of up to date information. This page will be updated with pictures, links, and video clips as they become available, so we encourage you to check back periodically for additional content.

At the end of this exercise, you will be prompted to print off the last page, which is a statement that you fully understand and agree to follow the CEE safety policies.

I will need this signed sheet to keep track for our training records. Please contact me if you have any questions or comments - your input is valuable.

Sincerely,

Peter A. Goguen
