Planning for New Research & Equipment

Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) requires that all newly assigned research spaces receive an initial research safety review. The purpose of a this review is to foster a strong safety partnership with lab staff in order to protect individuals and the facility, as well as to uphold regulatory compliance requirements. 

EHS will consult with the research team about the following safety topics:

  • Potential hazards
  • Methods to reduce the risk involved with potential hazards
  • Training requirements
  • Proper use of personal protective equipment and engineering controls
  • Proper waste disposal
