Overview


EHS manages and monitors laboratory safety programs at the University of Kansas - Lawrence Campus. Our goal is to prevent and/or minimize occupational and environmental exposure from hazardous materials usage and hazardous activities being conducted in the laboratory environment. We work closely with academic, research, and other campus support laboratories to assure that potential laboratory hazards or risks are identified and that proper controls are in place before and during any laboratory activities.

Initiate Safety Protocols / Request Research Approvals


Assessments evaluate the risks of, and demonstrate competence in the use of, potentially harmful materials with respect to university safety policy and procedures, as well as standard laboratory safety practice.
  • Evaluate Safety Protocols per Campus Safety Policies
