FW: Important Lab Safety Enforcement Information
by Weaver, John R 08 May '12

08 May '12

BNC Faculty - On April 2, 2012, I was invited to attend a REM-sponsored Webinar that highlighted changes in laws and enforcement relating to university lab safety. The key information in this Webinar is that life has changed for Principal Investigators as a result of recent lab accidents, two of which resulted in fatalities. Attached is a summary of the key points that were presented; I hope you will find this helpful. Please contact me - or REM - if questions arise based on these notes (or, of course, any other issues).
