KI's Laboratory safety introduction
Note! For employees and students, who are active in KI's laboratory activities or other activities with corresponding risks, is the course KI's Laboratory safety introduction – Laboratory Staff mandatory.
Students who only participate in teacher-led laboratory activities are not affected. You can find President’s decision (Rektorsbeslut) under Document.
As a new employee, affiliate, or student at one of KI´s departments, but also as existing staff, you are offered a basic laboratory safety introduction. In order to be able to work in a safe and secure manner in the laboratory environment, it is important that all staff knows and follows the safety routines within KI.
