Chemical Safety
If you store, use, create, or dispose of chemicals, EH&S has created links to resources that will help you protect people, the environment, and facilities. Please take time to familiarize yourself with safe operating practices found in such resources as the Laboratory Chemical Hygiene Program and the Occupational Safety and Health Program before working with chemicals.
