The training modules below have been created in Adobe Acrobat and are PDF files. You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader installed as a plug-in to your web browser.

The training modules below are specific to laboratory safety requirements on the KU-Lawrence Campus. They are based upon our campus laboratory safety manual.    At the end of each module is a self-test. Hopefully, these will help you better understand and comply with the requirements of our manual and document appropriate laboratory safety training.
