Environment, Health and Safety
Environment, Health & Safety is very important at the School of Chemistry. From the first year of Chemistry study, students work in laboratories, so they must learn appropriate safety protocols and procedures when working with chemicals and scientific equipment.
Knowledge of chemical safety is of paramount importance in the School.
Safety website is only accessible to current students and staff. Please contact OHS-Enquiries@unimelb.edu.au for further assistance
