About The Position

This includes helping to encourage proper attention to waste collection and documentation on waste manifests, monitoring the proper use of personal protective equipment by students, helping to ensure that all students present are appropriately attired, spending time circulating in the lab looking for unsafe or incorrect work, answering student questions, inviting student questions, etc., and filling out your online time sheet at the end of your working or grading sessions.
