The department's safety culture requires everyone's particpation, and is accomplished through a partnership that involves EHS, our own safety staff, a Safety Committee of faculty and staff, the Joint Safety Team involving students and staff, and a network of laboratory safety officers. A collaboration with Dow Chemical helps us implement the industry's best practices. Lab coats and eye protection are required in the labs at all times, and compliance is extremely high.
