Safety
In BRAE, we work in the real world. It can be a dangerous place, but the health and safety of students, staff, faculty, our industry partners, and the public is our top priority. Several BRAE courses include dedicated safety modules, everyone must pass both general and lab-specific safety tests before using each laboratory space, and everyone must be trained on specific equipment to be authorized to work with it. Our Laboratory Policies / Procedures document describes our mission, guidelines, rules, and corrective actions for safety violations. If you have a safety concern related to the department, please reach out to:
- our department head Peter Livingston,
- instructional support technician Virgil Threlkel,
- or to environmental-health-safety@calpoly.edu.
