Next enter some general information about the lab.

On the same page, enter information for the person that should be contacted for routine entry or advice.

Next enter information for the primary person that should be contacted in the event of an emergency.

Next enter information for the person that should be contacted in the event of an emergency if the primary contact is unavailable.

Check boxes of any hazards that apply and indicate in the condition field materials or equipment in the lab that exemplify the hazard. Check the assess box if you are unsure if conditions warrant the hazard warning and Environmental Safety will conduct an evaluation.

Rest of the hazard elements.

On the next page, enter the appropriate information if the laboratory conducts research at a Biosafety Level 2 or Biosafety Level 3.

That is it.

The administrative side of this system allows for the deletion of laboratory signage information, reassignment of access authorizations, and the ability to search through the database. This information is available to campus emergency personnel (University Police and environmental Safety) so they may contact the appropriate individuals during an emergency to identify specific lab hazards and precautions necessary for emergency response entrants.

For more information on this system consult the Hazard Warning Signage System or the Department of Environmental Safety.

We would greatly appreciate your feedback about this site.
