If you are injured or are involved in any kind of accident (whether actual or a “near miss”) or incident while in the lab, please report the incident to the lab manager or your supervisor and have them complete the online Accident Reporting Form at the link below.  The University’s Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) department takes accidents, workplace injury, near misses, and other incidents of an unspecified nature very seriously.  Failure to complete the necessary documentation can lead to bad things that I’m not entirely sure of because I haven’t completed the training course yet.

If an incident occurs, a supervisor has 24 hours to report the incident. Failure to report injuries which result in health care or lost time from work (other than the day of injury) may result in a financial penalty to the applicable department.
