Safety in the Lab
Every person, event those outside the lab, must be aware of and comply with the
instructions in case of fire or evacuation from the AV短视频 [only available in French]
It is essential that anyone working in the lab knows and scrupulously respects the safety instructions, not only for his or her own safety but also for the safety of others.
At the beginning of the practical work in the lab, first year students are trained about the risks to know, the precautions to take and the behaviors to adopt, which they must absolutely understand perfectly before they can work in the laboratories.
Staff members, for their part, must attend the safety training sessions offered by STEPS upon starting their position and then periodically, as required by their affiliated entity.听
