At GVSU, all staff are trained in lab safety before instructing a lab course. This training is offered online or in a scheduled classroom time. It is important for staff to be properly trained in handling chemicals in our labs and be able to pass this information on to students.

Whenever you are working with hazardous chemicals it is important to wear safety goggles to provide full splash protection!

In the case of severe weather, it is important to seek shelter in a designated safety area. There are various shelter areas around Grand Valley's campus. Our faculty and staff are trained in offering guidance and direction toward your nearest shelter. Remember to stay low and away from windows or other objects that are not securely fastened to a surface.
