Chemical and Lab Safety, Hazardous Waste, and Biosafety Level 2 are in-person trainings offered on the Columbia Campus (Benson School, Room 307) and School of Medicine-Columbia. In-person Laser Safety is available only on the Columbia Campus. Several specialized trainings are available online. Review the notes for each campus for more details.
- "Pre-register" will take you to the SignUp Genius website where you can preregister.
 - There are 30 slots available for each training session. If the slot is full, email jlocke@mailbox.sc.edu (Chemical Lab Safety), estey@mailbox.sc.edu (Hazardous Waste), smiths69@mailbox.sc.edu (BSL-2) or cmhewett@mailbox.sc.edu (Laser Safety) to be added to the waiting list.
