Laboratory Safety is the responsibility of all who use, maintain, or visit the labs within the Mechanical Engineering department. Laboratory researchers are responsible for working with the principal investigator to become familiar with the appropriate hazard information and safety policies before performing any work.
Researchers in select laboratories will be issued lab coats and goggles, depending on the type of materials used in the labs.

To appoint a Visiting Scholar or Visiting Students please contact Mike Bernard to start the process. View this list for the types of available appointments.
Only faculty members and PIs can initiate these requests.
- At least 90 days’ notice before the intended appointment date is required for international visitors.
- At least 6 weeks’ notice before the intended appointment date is required for American visitors.
Please do not hire any visitor before ensuring pre-notification to Mike. If a visitor arrives on campus without an approved appointment, there are consequences:
- International visitors will likely be sent back to their home country and possibly will suffer visa consequences and re-entry restrictions. You may be requested to pay for their return transportation.
- Before the appointment, visitors cannot work in your laboratory (and would need to complete necessary lab safety training) and will have no access to campus services, including receiving keys to buildings or labs.

Occasionally, you may feel overwhelmed by the rigors of research and education, especially if coupled with outside stresses like health and family concerns. Johns Hopkins offers a host of resources where you can ask for and receive help.
If you need someone to listen, you can talk to your research supervisor or any Mechanical Engineering staff member who is available to listen. Sometimes, venting to someone may be all you need.
Sometimes, though, you may want to talk to someone who is trained to help people in distress. View these pages for information and hours:
- Counseling Center – to get help with any emotional concerns, when feeling overwhelmed, and when needing mental health support in a caring environment.
- Sexual Assault Helpline
- Emergencies – call the Security office at 410-516-7777 or the Baltimore City Emergency Line at 911.
