Health and safety
Details of our Health and Safety protocols can be found in our Lab Safety Binder located at the entrance to 212 Votey. A binder of Safety Data Sheets (SDS) is located with this binder. All visitors should contact Dr. Scarborough for a laboratory tour. All personnel working in the lab are required to complete safety training as required by UVM Risk Management and Safety. Contact Dr. Scarborough for specific training requirements.
The EMERG lab is committed to providing a safe working environment and protecting public health.
