Watch the webinar on lab self-inspections

 

EH&S launched a new version of the Lab Safety Dashboard that offers a Self-Inspection Tool that allows PIs and CHOs to conduct and record an audit of their laboratory spaces using the lab survey checklist.

EH&S hosted a webinar to discuss how to effectively conduct self-inspections of your research spaces and labs, how to use the new self-inspection tool, and ways to customize the self-inspection process for your workspace and research group. The video is now available online for you to watch at your convenience.

As a reminder, all UW labs are expected to conduct at least one self-inspection annually and it is recommended that these are done at least several months after the most recent Lab Safety team survey of the lab. An effective self-inspection program engages laboratory staff to verify whether safety equipment, trainings and practices required by federal regulations, state agencies and institutional policies are observed and in use in the workplace.
