The Research Laboratory of Electronics (RLE) at the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is committed
to promoting a safe environment for all members of
MIT and surrounding communities by maintaining a cooperative
and progressive working relationship with the MIT EHS
office. The MIT Environmental Health and Safety (EHS)
office is responsible for the management and the delivery
of services that promote environmentally responsible
practices at MIT, reduce MIT's impact on the environment,
and protect the health and safety of our community
at the operational level.
Training is required by the Institute before beginning
work with any potentially hazardous materials or activities
in a laboratory at MIT. All PIs, graduate students,
UROP students, postdocs, visiting scientists, and other
researchers working in a laboratory must complete Training
Needs Assessment (TNA). Upon completion,
training requirements will be generated based on your
activities. Many courses are available both online
and in person. Lab-specific training is provided
by your PI or EHS rep. If you have any questions
about your training, please contact either your EHS
rep or Al
McGurl (3-2541).

Laser Safety and Eye
Exam
Persons working with Class 3b or Class 4 lasers must
receive laser safety training, which is given periodically
by the MIT EHS Office (training schedule and registration
are available on SAPWebSS). The laser worker is provided
a Laser Eye Examination form at the time of training.
Laser Eye Examinations are recommended but not required.
The form contains information on making a laser eye
examination appointment by contacting the MIT Eye Clinic (3-4351). The Laser
Eye Examination form will be signed by the physician performing the
examination; the completed form is returned to RPP (N52-496).

Lab Specific Chemical Hygiene Training
Everyone working in a laboratory where chemicals are used must complete Lab-Specific Chemical Hygiene Training once each year. This training is given by each lab's EHS Representative or PI and focuses on specific hazards in each individual laboratory. Please contact your EHS Rep to ensure you complete this requirement.
