Laboratory Security Awareness
The FBI’s Chemical Countermeasures Unit has prepared a laboratory security awareness video (see link below). This video offers a realistic scenario that emphasizes the importance of maintaining security awareness in the academic laboratory environment and reporting suspicious activity to the appropriate authorities. It is designed to be viewed by faculty, students, and staff who work in or around laboratories, chemicals, and equipment.
FBI Laboratory Security Awareness Video
Meet Jimmy!
Try our lab safety training video! Great for use during lab safety training at the beginning of the semester. See the Lab Safety Orientation link under Resources or click below.
We know! Jimmy isn’t wearing his safety glasses. Watch the video to see how Jimmy learns to be safe in the lab.
“Every member of the faculty, staff, and student body at the University is responsible for complying with established health and safety regulations, for taking necessary precautions to prevent injury to one’s self and to others, for promptly reporting all accidents, injuries, hazardous conditions, practices, and operating procedures to the Environmental Health and Safety Office and for constantly practicing sound safety principles in whatever activities are undertaken on campus.”
