• The “Laboratory Safety Fundamental Concepts” class is required for all students, volunteers, and staff in laboratories. Please see the EH&S training schedule for class dates and enrollment instructions.
• The “Laboratory Safety for Principle Investigators/Laboratory Supervisors” class is required for all PIs with laboratories. This class was specifically designed for faculty and supervisors in laboratory settings. Please see the EH&S training schedule for class dates and enrollment instructions.
• Given the importance of fire safety, all new students, volunteers, and staff members should receive fire safety training. EH&S has developed a number of resources to assist you:

• Fire Safety in the Laboratory video,
• Emergency Shower and Eyewash Station Fact Sheet, and
• “Hands-on Fire Extinguisher Training” class in which participants learn about the different types of extinguishers and how to extinguish a live fire. Class times are posted on the training schedule.

For guidance on what training is required based on the type of research being conducted, please refer to the lab safety training matrix. EH&S Training and Outreach staff are also available by calling 310-794-5328 to answer questions you may have.

If you have any questions or comments regarding laboratory safety, please contact the EH&S Hotline at 310-825-9797 or via email at laboratorysafety@ehs.ucla.edu.
