Civil + Environmental Engineering
Laboratory Training and Access Requirements
The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering has assigned training requirements to each laboratory/research space, based on the type of hazards present in that space.
Access
To gain access to a laboratory space/research space in civil engineering, you are required to completed the Laboratory Safety Orientation and Training Record form.
The laboratory safety orientation and training record form should be completed by the laboratory safety coordinator. No laboratory keys should be issued to a student until the safety requirements are met and documented in this sheet. This sheet is to be kept as a training log by the laboratory safety coordinator, in the laboratory space, as long as the student will be using the laboratory.
Training
Training requirements vary between Laboratories. A properly done and approved Hazard Assessment will set the training requirements for the space.
- Workplace Violence & harrassment Prevention
- Working Safely
- WHMIS 2023
- Concepts in Safety leadership for Engineering
