safety data sheets, chemical labels, and other printed chemical safety information. Other topics covered include fire protection/prevention, electrical safety, laser and ionizing radiation safety, machine safety (pumps, autoclaves, centrifuges), and non-PPE safety equipment (hoods, extinguishers, fire protection systems and building elements, general ventilation, showers, eyewashes), and an understanding of administrative controls, engineering controls, and how to select, use, maintain and decide to retire/replace PPE necessary for laboratory work with chemicals. Regulatory agency familiarity and compliance topics including OSHA, EPA, DOT, and NRC are also included. CHM 605 is open to all departments and is a required course for some departments. All graduate students working in a laboratory environment are strongly encouraged to take CHM 605. REM Researcher’s Guide The CHP focuses on work with hazardous chemicals in the laboratory. However, other common types of hazards are present in many research labs as well (e.g., biological hazards, lasers, etc.). REM has developed the Researcher’s Guide as a tool to assist researchers with compliance and training requirements for a broad range of common hazards and regulatory programs found in the laboratory.
