Please refer to your research or teaching faculty to determine the types of safety training you are required to complete.  Whether you are a research student enrolled in CHEM 199/299/399 or 393 honors, a Directed Study student, or a student enrolled in an academic lab course, speak to your lead professor for more information about specific training which may be required for your laboratory experience.  Stockroom student employee safety training is directed by the Stockroom and Safety Manager.  Most safety training courses are required annually, but some training are required for each course every semester for each laboratory you access.

General and specialized safety training are required before engaging in SUNY Geneseo Chemistry laboratories. For students, substitution of training from other organizations or institutions are not accepted as formal training since operational guidelines, emergency procedures, and waste management protocols are unique to the college.
