Safety Policies & Procedures
The Mag Lab has a comprehensive set of safety programs designed to ensure the safest possible conditions for faculty, staff, users and visitors. Information on user safety training is below; Mag Lab staff should consult the Intranet site for details on employee safety training.
Our training slideshows provide visiting scientists with an introduction to the Magnet Lab's Environmental Health and Safety Program and the hazards encountered at the laboratory.
Proper labeling is an important safety precaution.
Additional hazards may exist in the laboratory that have not been discussed in this training course. It is important to analyze every task we perform to identify potential safety hazards before they cause an accident or injury. The laboratory and FSU have EHS professionals available to provide technical assistance and answer your health and safety questions. You should use these resources whenever there is a question about the safety of a specific activity, or when you need a second opinion to confirm your evaluation of the hazards.
Please remember: The first and foremost person responsible for your health and safety while working at the Mag Lab is you!
At the end of the first four training modules is a test. You must score at least 80 percent on the test before you continue to the next training module. Please be sure to enter all required information in the identification fields before you click "submit."
After completing the final training module (Magnet Cell Safety Procedure), please complete the acknowledgement form provided.
