Safety:

Every member of the lab must complete the course: UC Davis Laboratory Safety Fundamentals, which you can also access on the  UC Learning website.  Once you have completed this online training, you will go through the site-specific orientation and training for new laboratory personnel in lab.

If you are working with mammalian cells, you must also complete Bloodborne Pathogens Training and Biosafety Level 2 Training on the UC Learning website.

Please review the following plans on the MCB Safety Management Website.  These plans are updated every year and must be reviewed annually by all lab members.

Molecular and Cellular Biology Department Illness and Injury Prevention Plan

Molecular and Cellular Biology Department Emergency Action Plan

 

Please review the Laboratory Safety Manual, including Chemical Hygiene Plan, which is also updated yearly.
