Safety

Berkeley Lab Training 

All fellows and affiliates working onsite at Berkeley Lab must follow Berkeley Lab safety protocols. 


Work Planning & Control (WPC) Activity

In addition to Berkeley Lab-provided Training, Fellows will build their own project-specific "Activity" that covers the work related to their CRADA. 


Lab Equipment

All equipment or lab instrumentation that is brought into Berkeley Lab must be NRTL-certified before use. 


Chemical Management 

Chemicals and hazardous gases must be ordered through a Berkeley Lab procurement system such as eBuy or ePro.  


Hazardous Waste & SAA

Hazardous Waste is accumulated in the lab in a Satellite Accumulation Area (SAA). 


Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

Safety eyewear, close-toed shoes, and long pants are required at all times in the lab. When handling chemicals, wear a lab coat and appropriate gloves.


Quarterly Safety Walkthroughs

Safety Inspections of lab areas are conducted quarterly. Your lab area will be audited against Berkeley Lab policies and your project's active WPC Activity.
