Safety Training & SOPs
Safety Requirements
SciTech has a variety of spaces with ranging safety concerns. All of the instrument spaces require annual safety training prior to independent use. Individuals requesting to use an instrument independently are required to confirm they have completed specific safety training outlined in the instrument-specific policies with the appropriate SciTech staff member. The required training as well as tracking are saved within Facility Online Manager (FOM) and by instrument managers. Class demos as well as supervised instrument use do not need prior safety training. Any user not demonstrating safe lab behavior will be promptly corrected or dismissed from the lab space if immediate correction is not possible and the user’s supervisor may be informed by SciTech staff.

Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)
SOPs should be considered supplementary learning materials. In-person training provided by SciTech staff is required for all users of our instrumentation.
Not all SciTech instruments have a current SOP. If you have questions, please email the associated instrument manager.
