Massage from the Department Safety Officer
Maintaining a safe working environment within any organization is a fundamental responsibility. As the Department Safety Officer, it is my duty to ensure a safe and supportive learning environment within the department premises. However, safety is a shared responsibility among laboratory staff, instructors, and students and must be practiced at all times.
All users are required to strictly follow the safety guidelines and procedures outlined in the Laboratory Safety Manual. Any hazards, unsafe conditions, or incidents must be reported immediately to the appropriate authority. I encourage everyone to remain alert, be aware of their surroundings, and conduct all laboratory work carefully and responsibly.
Your cooperation and commitment to safety in helping maintain a safe and productive learning environment are highly appreciated.
