HEALTH AND SAFETY

Investigating the hazards associated with working in the lab and following the MDI's, NYU's and generally accepted safety practices are necessary conditions for conducting laboratory research. This section of the website contains sources of information to help you meet our safety criteria. 

First Steps

  • Begin with by reading the NYU laboratory safety manual and the MDI Site Specific Safety plan.

  • Take the required in-class training sessions.

  • Learn what to do in case of an emergency, study your labs floor plan.

  • Read the material safety datasheets for the chemicals involved in your research.

Lab Inspections

 Laboratory inspections are a critical part of the safety culture at NYU. Laboratories are assessed on a regular basis for compliance with environmental and occupational health and safety regulations. It is a good idea to review the Lab Safety/ Hazardous Waste checklist prior to the inspection to address any issues and expedite the process.
