Power Outage
What to do and how to prepare for a power outage at work or in class. 
Emergency Contacts
In the event of an emergency, establishing an emergency contact(s) allows the University or first responders to notify your loved ones. There are three ways to make this information available.
Lockout/Tagout
Lockout/Tagout devices are regulated by the University’s Lockout/ Tagout Safety Program or Energy Control Program. The devices act as a means of protecting workers from injury by the release of energy during repair, inspection, or maintenance of machines and other equipment.
Glass Safety
Glass is found in two main types around the University. Borosilicate glass is used in lab glassware due to its durability and high temperature range. Soda-lime is found in most glass objects and is prone to fracturing from temperature changes, corrosives, and impact.
