Dept of Chem and many others who WORK REGULARLY in BRWN OR WTHR USE THIS SCHEME.

Other entering graduate students and staff who will be near or using chemicals -- areas including biological, biomedical, physics, veterinary, materials science/engineering, nanotech, pharmacy.... research irrespective of 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 their 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.

Online independent study in THREE parts is available to help with this;
    (i) "CHP1" -- a fairly in-depth overview of the Chemical Hygiene Plan, AND
    (ii) "HazCom" -- the Hazard Communication Training online exercise, AND
    (iii) "PPE" -- Personal Protective Equipment training,

Note -- If absolutely no PPE is used aside from regular wardrobe uses (shoes are PPE, so are scarves and gloves, so are most articles of clothing, technically...) PPE training is not required.

Some departments have a requirement that their entering graduate student enroll in CHM 605 in addition to completing the above.

The completeness of training, and the disposition of the training records produced by these online and/or live training activities, are the business or your department, division, supervisor.... i.e. whoever is making the rules about your safety training and safety training records. Not REM. REM advises on minimum requirements and offers some help satisfying them.
