Safety Laboratory safety is a top priority for the Department of Chemistry. Therefore, the Safety Committee provides forms and safety information for the department to follow. All laboratories are expected to complete the Annual Checklist and maintain a “safety binder” containing the signed and dated safety documentation.

Governance responsibility rests with the Chair (formerly called “DEO”), who may consult with various bodies such as standing committees, an Executive or Advisory or Consultative committee, or with ad-hoc committees or delegate responsibility to these bodies. The faculty as a whole may overrule any of the above by majority vote, although not every item of business is necessarily brought before the faculty. The agenda is set at the discretion of the Chair or any of the committees. A list of current standing committees is appended.
