The EHS Research Safety program protects and provides expertise, service, support, and leadership in health & safety to the UArizona research community.
Each research-focused safety program has its own requirements based on the regulations and industry standards that govern it. Some researchers may only need to participate in one program, while others may be involved with every program; it is dependent on the nature and scope of your research. Please use the following instructions to get started and contact us anytime with any questions.
Register with EHS (formerly RLSS) by completing the New Lab Registration and Assessment online form.
EHS staff will contact you to set up an introductory meeting, create an online compliance dashboard, and assess which institutional safety committee approvals (Biological and/or Radiation Hazards) may be required for your research. You will then need to complete all required safety training and obtain approval from required Institutional Safety Committees.
EHS conducts semi-annual (laser only) and annual inspections for compliance once you are established. Please reach out any time you have questions or concerns for assistance.
