All graduate students working in (teaching or research) laboratories in the Department of Physics and Astronomy must complete an annual course on hazardous waste and lab safety. Online training is available continuously on eCampus.
Please follow the instructions:
- Make sure you complete the current EHS Hazardous Waste 2024 training (Access Code 5fsYVONz).
- Go through all the required content in the training module.
- Complete the quiz at the end of the module successfully with a minimum 80% grade. The completion form will then appear at the end of the module.
- Fill out the required completion form. You must complete the Required Personal Information Form after you pass the training. If you do not complete this form, you have not completed the training and your name will not appear in the “completed” training list.
- Once you complete the training and the Required Personal Information Form, please send an email to Miranda Heitz. She will ensure your training has been recorded.
- Your name will be added to the master list maintained by the Department of Physics and Astronomy and mandated by EHS/DEP. It is critical that this list is accurate and up to date.
In addition to these requirements, some labs also require specialized training. Please check with the faculty researcher prior to entering any lab. For example, an online laser safety training guide is available on the website under Safety Plans and Regulations.
