Training
Our community members must feel comfortable with their knowledge of what to do in case of a fire or other emergency. The first step of this training process for everyone is to review the Emergency Preparedness Presentation (Atlas Course Number: EHS 404) for an introduction to AeroAstro Emergency Preparedness and General Safety guidelines. All members of the AeroAstro Community will be required to watch this presentation prior to receiving access to general areas. If you have any questions about your training, please get in touch with either your EHS Representative or your EHS Coordinators.
Required for all AeroAstro Community Members:
Emergency Preparedness Presentation
Laboratory Training Requirements
Before beginning work with any potentially hazardous materials or activities in a laboratory at MIT, all principal investigators (PI), students students, postdocs, visiting scientists, and researchers must complete the Training Needs Assessment (TNA). Upon completion of the TNA, lab members will be required to complete lab-specific training requirements determined based on research activities. Many courses are available both online and in person.
