Safety Information - Cosmogenic Sample Preparation Labs

We use a variety of hazardous materials in the laboratory including mineral acids and beryllium in both solution and oxide forms. In order to keep personnel safe and to prevent release to the environment of these chemicals, we have developed, in partnership with UVM Risk Management, standard operating procedures. This page provides links to those procedures for lab users and others. Note that some UVM Risk Management web pages are only available to those with UVM netids.
