Fire Safety
Regulations require workers to be trained in fire safety techniques and the proper management of flammable materials. Ensure all lab personnel receive training on what to do in the event of a fire (use of extinguishers, location of alarm pull boxes, evacuation routes, etc.). Contact the UCSC Fire Department (link below) to schedule hands-on fire extinguisher training.
