Many departments within the College of Health and Behavioral Studies operate laboratories that support student instruction and scholarship. It is vital that everyone who works in our laboratories recognize the hazards associated with laboratory activities and follow proper safety procedures at all times.

The following units have laboratory settings with safety documentation:
