Laboratory Safety Program

The Laboratory Safety Program at WCU is designed to minimize the risk of injury or illness by providing support to personnel through safety training programs and guidance documents for safe lab practices. The Principal Investigator or Lab Supervisor has a responsibility to ensure that the personnel working in his or her lab are properly informed and trained to work effectively and safely in the laboratory.  The information and documents available below identify the requirements for each laboratory and will ensure compliance with Federal and State regulations.
