Lab Safety Training

Please complete lab safety training through SciShield.  Please use this handout as a supplement to the training.  Lab safety training is required annually.  Please note that completion of the lab safety training module fulfills the annual training requirements for right to know and hazardous waste.

New lab members can order lab coats and eye protection online.

Please note that a Net ID is required to access training in SciShield.  Non-UMass community members will need to have a NENS setup for them to be able to access the trainings.  Please note that the NENS will show up in SPIRE before it is synced with SciShield, sometimes up to one week.  If you have difficulty setting up the NENS, please contact OIT at 413-545-9400 or email it@umass.edu.

What if I want to do in-person training?

EH&S is happy to come to your lab space and meet with you and your colleagues to go over lab and building specific items.  If you would like to set up a meeting, please contact us at askehs@umass.edu.
