Safety Training
Before you get started you must complete:
- basic safety training,
- lab safety training,
- responsible conduct of research (RCR) training
as soon as possible. The lab safety training must be done before any work can be performed in any of the Labs. The basic safety training and RCR must be taken as soon as possible. For more information on the training necessary to access each lab, follow the Lab Safety link below.
Responsible Conduct of Research
Resources
Whiting School's lab safety- resource for all updated informations on trainings, chemical waste disposal, emergency response, …
Contact The ME Department's Lab Manager/Safety Officer, Tom Benassi (tbenass1@jhu.edu) if you have questions regarding the Department and WSE safety policy, if you have a safety concern in lab, if you'd like additional training.
Lab supplies
Ordering general supplies:
Need a chemical or material ordered and don't know how? If the total order is more than $50, then I (Vicky) must approve them. Send me an email with the item, part number, quantity, and cost. If I approve then send the information to Shawna OBrien in the ME Department office and CC me. You will need to provide her a budget number. Shawna is very helpful but she still needs as much information as you can give her. Don't forget to tell her the quantities needed. If you provide a link (to the exact Amazon product you want for example), that will make her life easier and will avoid confusions, delays, or you not getting what you need.
