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 Doug Lamay (2-3879) and/or Al
McGurl (3-2541).

Laser Safety and Eye
Exam
All persons working with Class 3b and Class 4 lasers
are required to receive laser safety training and
the baseline laser eye exam. The laser worker
is provided a Laser Eye Examination form at the time
of training. This form informs the individual to
make 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 laser worker then returns the completed
form to the RPP (N52-496) to receive credit for this
requirement. If you misplace your eye exam
form prior to your exam, you may contact Doug
Lamay (2-3879) to receive another copy.
