Notify the Department of Public Safety (DPS) at 315-443-2224 of any laboratory emergency or laboratory incident involving fire, personal injury, property damage, or hazardous materials. DPS will notify and dispatch appropriate emergency responders.
Laboratory personnel must also inform the laboratory’s principal investigator and/or supervisor of any incident or near miss incident occurring in a laboratory and complete Environmental Health and Safety Services’ (EHSS) Laboratory Incident and Near Miss Report.
Laboratory personnel will not face disciplinary consequences for reporting potential lab safety risks or lab incidents. EHSS will work with the principal investigator, supervisor and/or involved individual(s) to conduct a post incident or near miss evaluation and identify steps and recommendations to prevent reoccurrence.
