Planning to begin work with hazardous materials? Follow the steps below to set up your workplace:
1. Register your space
Contact HSE at hse.info@ualberta.ca to set up an appointment to register your worksite in the HSE module of the ARISE database. You will need the following information:
- Hazards used in the space (e.g., chemical, biological, radiological, lasers, UV, high voltage, etc.)
- Personnel in the space
- Equipment in the space (lasers, scintillation counters, biological safety cabinets, autoclaves)
Depending on the work you will be doing, you may require training and additional certification; HSE will help you to get started.
2. Prepare a unit action plan/emergency response plan
3. Post hazard signage
