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 that are part of our laboratory safety manuals

. This page provides links to those procedures and other important safety information for lab users and others. Note that some UVM Risk Management web pages are only available to those with UVM netids.
