Laboratory Reminders from UK Biosafety

From UK Biosafety News, Newsletter Date May 2013. With the return of warmer weather and summer approaching, the UK Department of Biological Safety would like to issue the following friendly reminders: Please remember to add new personnel, including summer interns and students, to your IBC registrations (http://topaz.uky.edu). Please be advised that all high school volunteers must be approved by UK Environmental Health and Safety (http://ehs.uky.edu/ohs/minors_0001.php). Minors under the age of 14 are NOT PERMITTED inside of any research laboratory, greenhouse, or animal facility at the University of Kentucky unless it is for UK sponsored programs which are designed for youth under the age of 14 and which have documented training and safety policies. As always, good laboratory practices include wearing full Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) when working in the lab. REMEMBER: NO PANTS, NO SHOES, NO SCIENCE!
