Laboratories

Experimental research, education and practice is a vital part of the department's strategy

Laboratories
Access to laboratories is given for one semester at the time. To renew your access for a second semester, only step 4 needs to be repeated.

General requirements for accessing all labs:

Complete basic HSE course (self registering e-training and safety walk in the laboratory)
    o English
    o Norwegian

    o HSE course if you are not a student or employee

Before you apply for access to labs:

1. Register an account of Bookitlab
2. Get the project number from your supervisor
3. Send your bookitlab account and project name/number to Hillgrun Aune (hillgrun.aune@ntnu.no) to link your project to your account

Applying for access to labs and facilities:

1. HSE online course
2. HSE room tour. Room manager and link to registration safety walk:
   
   

     3. Instrument training is agreed with the room manager

     4. Risk assessment (RA), sequence:

1. RA to be filled in by the person who wants access - The activity must be approved by the supervisor, the applicant must fill in all steps in the work, and assess risks in these. Supervisor and applicant sign a PDF version of the RA.
2. The signed RA is sent to the room manager for review and approval.
3. If the RA contains the use of chemicals, the room manager must forward the RA to the chemistry manager Rebecca.
4. The chemistry manager forwards the signed RA to the laboratory manager for the final approval.

Notice.: You should not put "all" on CC along the way, the next stage in the approval order does not need to be involved until this has a task to be carried out. For example, the laboratory leader can only be involved when he must give final approval. Unnecessary CC does not speed up prceedings. Also think through who is in the "To" fiels, do not invovle more than necessary. Anyone who has signed along the way will receive a signed copy when access is granted.

• Information about the chemicals available in our department, and their safety data sheets (SDS), can be found in the NTNU Chemical Index (Stoffkartoteket).
