  • Chemical hygiene
  • Machinery and equipment safety and controls
  • Applicable high risk operations
  • Training

All student organizations residing in the Student Creativity Center and any organization that has activities involving tools, equipment that could harm someone if inappropriately used or in an accident; or are using or storing chemicals are required to complete an EH&S Safety Inspection.  Please contact EH&S to schedule your inspection. 

These organizations include; but are not limited to: AIAA, AIChE, AISES Rocketeers, ASCE, ASME, BMES, Bruin Home Solutions, BruinRacing, CalGeo, Design Create Solar, EERI, IEEE, MRS, REA, and any other organization that occupies space in the School of Engineering and engages the aforementioned activities.
