Some Departments or Schools will be planning/suggesting activities for this time period that are specific to each unit’s needs.

Do you know what to do if you or a coworker have an accident or a near miss at work? Being familiar with the correct procedures ensures that proper care/support is received and also helps to disseminate information across the broader COS community. Sharing this information (while keeping identities confidential) ensures that the circumstances surrounding the incident can be understood and measures put in place to lessen the likelihood of the same incident happening to someone else. This session will cover where to seek medical attention for students and employees as well as who you need to report information to and how.

Biohazard Spill Cleanup – Includes Hands on Training with a Simulated Spill (*Training)

Do you work with biohazardous materials (BSL-1 or BSL-2)? Do you know the correct procedure for cleaning up spills of that material in an open lab space? In a biosafety cabinet? In a centrifuge? If the answer is “No.” or it’s been a while since you’ve been trained on these procedures, or you just want more practice, this session is for you! The first part of the training will review proper protocols in a classroom setting. The second part will involve hands-on cleaning of a simulated spill of biohazardous material. Session capacity is limited and only those who’ve signed up ahead of time can participate in this training.
