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
  • Laboratory and Chemical Safety 2023
  • Hazardous Waste Managment
  • Depending on the nature of your research additional courses may be required:
  • Concepts in Biosafety
  • UV Protection
  • CO2 Safety
  • Laser Safety

Individuals planning on doing fieldwork should start by taking the course on Field Activities Plan course offered by Environment, Health, and Safety's Field Research Office. For more information and assistance on field research please contact fieldoff@ualberta.ca.
