Each laboratory at the university is unique, by virtue of the research being performed, the equipment in use, and the physical layout of the lab or utilization of space. Regardless of the characteristics, teaching and research laboratories at the University of Florida must adhere to the basic safety policies outlined in the Lab Safety Manual.
Although the Lab Safety Manual covers the basic principles for working in a laboratory at the University of Florida, it is not intended to be a complete listing of laboratory hazards or safe practices. Personnel with specific questions not covered in the manual are urged to call upon EH&S for assistance.
