Every three years the UC Fundamentals of Laboratory Safety Refresher training needs to be taken to stay current. Learn more about the specific requirements for your role here: Annual Safety Reviews
Hazards at BML
Chemicals
The risks associated with laboratory research are greatly reduced or eliminated when proper precautions and practices are followed in the laboratory. To better manage hazards and mitigate their associated risks, UC Davis has developed the Chemical Hygiene Plan. The manual is intended to be the cornerstone of your safety program and is designed to aid faculty, staff, and students in maintaining a safe environment to teach and conduct research.
Boating and Diving
The Boating Safety Program is your resource for information on boating and marine safety issues, including the intricacies of U.C. Davis paperwork. Our goal is to work with boaters to facilitate their research in the safest manner possible. Please contact us if you have questions regarding the use of small boats under UCD auspices. We provide training in small boat operations, seamanship, first aid, CPR and other ancillary skills as requested.
