Safety and Health Policy
It is the policy of the University of Wisconsin System to provide and maintain adequate facilities for a safe and healthy learning environment. Faculty and staff will comply with state and federal safety laws and educate their students on practices and procedures that ensure safety for all members of the university.
Certain courses and research projects may require you to work with hazardous materials.

Before using hazardous materials and equipment, you should review the procedures and information, and discuss any concerns with your instructor.
