What sort of chemical safety training is needed everywhere else at Purdue?

 

Entering graduate students in chemical, biological, biomedical, physics, veterinary, materials science/engineering, nanotech, pharmacy.... research irrespective of their specific research interests or intentions should receive a thorough coverage of all Chemical Hygiene Plan and Hazard Communication Program concepts and requirements at the time of arrival.  At the time of actual start of work that involves health or safety hazards, extra training (and documentation of the training) may be necessary.
