Resources for Faculty, Staff, PIs, TAs, Students, and Visitors
The documents and videos below provide guidance on safety regulations and procedures for the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Utah. The purpose is to describe proper general practices, procedures, equipment, and facilities to be followed/used by all personnel (employees, PIs, teaching assistants, students, and visitors) working in each laboratory within the department. This is to protect them from potential health hazards while working with equipment and chemicals, and to keep the potential for exposure at a minimum. It is the responsibility of the administration, principal investigator, faculty, and research personnel to know and follow the plan.
