Laboratory and Maker Space Safety

EHS is dedicated to empowering researchers and technicians to recognize and mitigate potential hazards. To prove this, our emergency protocols and first-aid resources are readily accessible, ensuring a swift response to any incidents. By cultivating a culture of safety, we encourage creativity and exploration, making our makerspaces into dynamic hubs for discovery, teamwork, and results.
