Laboratory Supervisor w88 online live casino Responsibilities Policy
w88 online live casino
In order to ensure that laboratory activities are conducted safely, and in compliance with environmental health and w88 online live casino regulations, all laboratory activities must be conducted under the supervision of a designated laboratory supervisor.
w88 online live casino Authority
Vice President for Research; Environmental Health and w88 online live casino Department
Scope
This policy applies to the supervision of all laboratories maintained by the University of Nevada, Reno that possess recognized biological, chemical, radiological, or physical hazards, and chemical stockrooms and storerooms. This includes teaching and research laboratories, and service laboratories that provide testing, diagnostic, measurement, or other w88 online live casino services.
Background
It is clear that the University has a legal duty to establish an effective laboratory w88 online live casino program that will minimize risks. Inherent in this duty is supervision of laboratory personnel to ensure that environmental health and w88 online live casino procedures are followed. Additionally, most federal research sponsors also require adherence to w88 online live casino regulations as a condition of funding, highlighting the fact that laboratory w88 online live casino is an inherent component of, and complement to, the teaching and research mission of the University. Although not as well defined, professional practice, and moral and ethical responsibilities also necessitate a high standard of laboratory w88 online live casino. In short, it is not acceptable to merely conduct productive laboratory research; it must be conducted safely and in compliance with laboratory w88 online live casino regulations.
The University’s duty to supervise laboratory personnel is delegated through the academic administrative line from the President to the Provost and Vice Presidents, to Deans, Department Chairs, Directors and ultimately to faculty and staff directly responsible for teaching and research laboratory activities. For teaching laboratories, the faculty in charge of the course is responsible for laboratory w88 online live casino, and for research laboratories, the Principal Investigator is responsible for laboratory w88 online live casino. Although specific duties associated with laboratory w88 online live casino may be delegated to qualified and trained students and staff, the responsibility cannot be delegated. Laboratory personnel who have been trained and are otherwise qualified, are responsible for working safely and in accordance with procedures and guidelines established by the University, academic department or program, and specific laboratory.
Regulatory requirements and legal duty do not recognize university education, publication history, or laboratory experience, per se, as evidence of laboratory w88 online live casino training or competence. It is not sufficient to rely on the assumption that laboratory personnel know, and follow, laboratory w88 online live casino regulations and procedures. Laboratory supervisors must ensure sufficient training so that all laboratory workers under their direction, or working in laboratory space for which they are responsible, understand the hazards that they are exposed to, and know how to work safely and in compliance with laboratory w88 online live casino regulations.
To assist laboratory supervisors in meeting these responsibilities, the University has established the Environmental Health and w88 online live casino Department (EH&S). The function of EH&S is to facilitate University activities, including laboratory research, through prudent risk management practices that minimize risks to people, the environment, facilities, and other university resources. EH&S provides services, materials, tools, and guidance to aid laboratory supervisors in meeting their health and w88 online live casino responsibilities.

w88 online live casino Chairs and Directors
Ensure that all faculty and principal investigators are aware of the responsibilities and procedures contained in this policy. For w88 online live casino space that is shared by investigators, or which is considered to be common w88 online live casino space (such as core w88 online live casino facilities and instrument rooms), assign a faculty member to be responsible for that space.
w88 online live casino Supervisor
Ensure that environmental health and w88 online live casino policies are implemented in laboratories for which they are responsible.
Health and w88 online live casino responsibilities of the University of Nevada, Reno Laboratory Supervisors include the following:
- Ensure that all laboratory personnel receive documented training on the specific health and w88 online live casino hazards to which they are exposed, and that personnel are competent to perform their assigned work. Training documentation must include the name of the instructor, the name of the person receiving the training, the date, and the training topic(s). A training documentation form is available as an appendix to the University Chemical Hygiene Plan (CHP); however, other formats may be used. This training must communicate laboratory hazards, methods, procedures, and equipment required to work safely in the laboratory, proper emergency response actions, and when and how to obtain treatment for workplace illness or injury.
- Develop written standard operating procedures (SOPs) that address biological, chemical, radiological, and physical hazards associated with the specific laboratory operations for which the supervisor is responsible. Information on developing SOPs for chemical procedures is available in Chapter 3 of the CHP and an example template is available as an appendix to the CHP. Information on developing SOPs for use of biological agents and radioactive material is available in the Biosafety Manual and Radiation w88 online live casino Manual, respectively. SOP topics will typically be included in laboratory-specific training.
- Upon request from authorized personnel, communicate information regarding hazards and necessary safe work practices to authorized w88 online live casino visitors, including: other w88 online live casino personnel, maintenance workers, custodians, and vendors.
- Provide supervision of w88 online live casino personnel at a level commensurate with the education, experience, and competence level of the personnel.
- In the event of an extended absence, the w88 online live casino Supervisor should arrange for a qualified alternate to provide supervision of w88 online live casino operations (generally this will be another qualified faculty member or an experienced member of the research group).
- Ensure that laboratory ventilation devices, w88 online live casino showers and eyewashes, fire extinguishers, personal protective equipment, and other w88 online live casino equipment are available, in proper working order, and appropriate for the laboratory and the work being conducted. Deficiencies in facility-maintained w88 online live casino equipment, including laboratory fume hoods, w88 online live casino showers and eyewashes, and fire extinguishers, are to be reported to the Facilities Services Department for remediation.
- Implement and enforce preventative measures to control hazards and minimize risks to personnel. This includes complying with regulations, University and Departmental laboratory w88 online live casino policies, and prudent laboratory w88 online live casino practices.
- Promote environmental health by maintaining compliance with environmental regulations, including minimization and proper management of hazardous wastes, reduction of w88 online live casino water and air effluents, and prudent management of hazardous materials inventories.
- Take active steps to identify laboratory w88 online live casino deficiencies and ensure remediation.
- Ensure that w88 online live casino-related injuries and illnesses are reported to the Worker’s Compensation Office, EH&S, and the responsible Department Chair, and necessary forms are filed according to current policy.
