A brief description of the institution’s workplace health and safety initiatives:
Rice University's Environmental Health and Safety department works to create a safe workplace by providing all staff with safety equipment and hosts a variety of training sessions. All laboratory staff and users are required to go through specific laboratory safety trainings that aims to teach users about hazards in the laboratory. This training is required within the first 30 days of new work practices. In addition to the general safety training, all users are also responsible for training courses in biosafety and bloodborne pathogens, radiation safety and laser safety and must repeat these trainings annually.
