Everybody from the Georgia Tech community must receive basic safety training. In addition, all people who wish to conduct research in the School of Chemistry and Biochemistry must receive laboratory safety training. Incoming graduate students receive this training during their orientation week. Other researchers (e.g., post-docs, undergraduates, visitors) must attend one of the training sessions offered by the office of Environmental Health and Safety (EHS). The EHS Training widget is an interactive tools to help identify mandatory safety trainings based upon your occupation.
All new researchers should complete (i) a safety orientation and (ii) safety training plan. Those two documents and a training matrix can be downloaded as a PDF file here or a Word file here.
