Lab & Shop Safety Training

General Lab Safety / Hazardous Waste Generator / Chemical Hygiene Plan Training

The State of California and CSUN require that all laboratory users receive mandated safety training on an annual basis. This training requirement applies to all principal investigators, graduate students, student research assistants, and other faculty and staff with lab access. The training consists of three parts: General Lab Safety, Chemical Hygiene Plan (CHP), and Hazardous Waste Generator training which takes approximately 60 minutes.


Several training sessions are offered during the first weeks of each semester. If you need safety training for lab access mid-semester, contact the Department Safety Coordinator (x3573).


This training must be renewed annually.

Hydrofluoric Acid Safety Training

Anyone with access to a laboratory with hydrofluoric acid also needs HF safety training. This training takes approximately 45 minutes and must be renewed annually.
