The School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering is actively committed to a culture of laboratory safety and responsible conduct of research. 

Our safety culture team organization: Graduate Student Safety Council

Below are some important resources for laboratory safety and dealing with emergencies.

RESPONDING TO EMERGENCIES

In the event of an emergency, call GT Campus Police
at 4-2500 or 404-894-2500.

Please remember that you should never dial 911.
Dialing 911 will delay response time.

Important Information about Accident/Incident Reports

​It is mandatory to complete a report after an accident/incident. The report will not only provide accurate documentation of the event but it will also serve as a learning tool for others.

To report, complete and sign the form, and have your advisor (if any) sign it and submit a copy to Dr. Chris Jones (School Chair) and a copy to Dr. Sankar Nair (Safety Committee Chair).

Near misses are also highly encouraged to be reported. Please use the form below, and send to Dr. Sankar Nair (Safety Committee Chair).
