- For access to environmental engineering laboratories in buildings 6 and 8, the online biosafety and genetically modified organisms GMO training course must also be completed in addition to the EIS induction assessment quiz.
- Certificates are issued upon passing.
2. Local lab induction and acknowledgment
- Complete lab induction with technical staff or appropriate training officer. Laboratory technical staff or the appropriate training officer's details can be obtained from the Senior Technical Officer WHS.
- Complete the EIS Laboratory Induction/WHS Induction Acknowledgment form (PDF: 89.1KB)
3. Apply for lab access
- Fill out the laboratory access application form (PDF)
