3. Activate the Lab Hazard Assessment Program (Local UCSB researchers already added to another lab hazard assessment may skip this step).
- Log in to Assessment using your UCSB netID and log out.
4. Complete the UC Laboratory Safety Fundamentals Course (UC-affiliated researchers can login to their own campus’ UC Learning Center to provide a copy of the class certificate.).
- Take the course online via the UCSB Learning Center and save the completion certificate.
- Email the certificate to Debbie Kleinpeter (BP-admin@cnsi.ucsb.edu).
5. Submit the Chemical Hygiene Plan Attestation Form
- Download, sign, and email the Chemical Hygiene Plan Attestation Form to Debbie Kleinpeter (BP-admin@cnsi.ucsb.edu).
6. X-ray Users Only

- Include your UCSB netID, PI name, department, university affiliation, BioPACIFIC MIP proposal ID/project code, or recharge account number.
9. Acknowledge Your Addition to the Lab
- The project scientist will add you to the laboratory hazard assessment roster using your UCSB netID.
- Log in to Assessment and acknowledge the hazard safety assignment for the corresponding laboratory (OASIS 400 and 413 for Synthesis and Additive Manufacturing, Elings 2419 for X-ray or Elings 2417 for microrheology)
An example action item assignment in Assessment is shown below:
10. PPE Safety Training and Pick-Up
* If you want your personal PPE please follow the procedure below.
- Complete the PPE Safety Training Course.
- Schedule a PPE pick-up appointment via Google Calendar. Please provide required details: non-flammable lab coat, BioPACIFIC MIP as PI, preferred gender, and coat size.
- Pick up your PPE from Chemistry Building loading dock, storeroom #1432.
* Readily available shared PPE at different sizes will be available at the OASIS facilities.
11. Lab Walkthrough
- Complete a laboratory safety walk-through with Zach Nett (zjnett@ucsb.edu) and/or David Fisher (dfisher@ucsb.edu) before gaining keycard access or unrestricted reservation access to equipment.
- Download the Training Needs Assessment Form and bring it to your session.
12. Keycard Access
