Office Workers
Students who work in offices, computer labs, and other areas where few, if any, hazardous materials are used or stored still need to complete a safety orientation. Their immediate supervisor is responsible for making sure student workers have basic safety training and that the required documents are reviewed, signed, and maintained.
Teaching Associates or Assistants
Student employees who teach lecture or laboratory classes need basic safety training usually provided by their class coordinator or as part of the lecturer orientation session at the beginning of the semester.
In addition to this, student teachers are required to review a safety handbook, take the accompanying quiz, and turn it in to their class coordinator or department office. There are two versions available, one for lab instructors and another for lecture class instructors.
