Keeping Your Lab Safe

Refresher Training:
Laboratory Consultations

Annual refresher laboratory safety training is provided through on site opportunities:

Laboratory Consultations: ES staff are available to visit specific laboratories to provide on-site consultations about safety concerns in the laboratory. Contact us at esf@uvm.edu to arrange a time for such a visit.

All laboratory workers should participate in one of these forms of refresher training at least every year. Thus, the total formal Environmental Safety training is about one day per year for the first two years and 2 hours per year after that. You can track your participation in these trainings from our web site. Questions about this program can be directed to esf@uvm.edu
