Environment, Health, and Safety
The University conducts periodic Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) online training / briefings, which are mandatory for students. Students are responsible for understanding the environment, health and safety training materials and instructions presented at these briefings and for acting in accordance with them. Further information is available in the Environment, Health and Safety manuals.
In an engineering university, students are expected to use instruments, equipment, and materials that are potentially hazardous. For this reason, students are required to attend mandatory environment, health, and safety laboratory inductions and orientations, and to read the Environment, Health and Safety manuals associated with all lab and workshop activities. Students will not be allowed to participate in lab or workshop activities unless they have demonstrated clear understanding of the safety procedures involved and have approved risk assessment for the activities /experiment to be performed inside the lab.
Students may not work alone in a hazardous lab or workshop and report to EHS department in case of any incident or medical emergency. Inattention or disruptive behavior will not be tolerated in any lab or workshop activity. Repeated cases will be referred for disciplinary action. Equipment, tools, and materials must be handled in a manner that is safe for the student as well as for other students and the instructor. Students have a responsibility to report any infringements that they witness.
