SAFETY TRAINING COURSES

This year's HKUST-Rice team members have received safety training over the summer. Topics that we have learned about in safety training are as following:

For HKUST:

  1. Biological Safety
  2. Chemical Safety I/ Chemical Safety for Laboratory Users
  3. Chemical Safety II/ Hazardous Waste Management

The link to the laboratory safety training requirements of our institution (The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, HKUST) can be directed to: http://www.ab.ust.hk/hseo/training.htm

For RICE University:

  1. General Laboratory Safety
  2. Blood Safety and Blood Borne Pathogens
