Lab resources & safety training

The overall mission of the CENE Laboratories is to provide state-of-the-art facilities capable of supporting both the instructional and research needs of the students and faculty, as well as to provide access to others within the University that may have well defined, synergistic educational or research needs. Students have access to these facilities through various courses and during the conduct of undergraduate research, special projects through student organization design competitions or senior capstone design projects.

We maintain several lab facilities and work areas to serve our mission. In order to smoothly transition between space and project needs we have established guidelines for lab use. Laboratory use must be requested and a proper project plan must be submitted to the Lab Manager before entering the CENE lab space. Please contact the Lab Manager for the lab permission form.

Safety training

It is required that all workers who will perform work in a lab where it is reasonable to expect that they will either use chemicals or potentially be exposed to chemicals, must complete the NAU Chemical Hygiene Training (Parts 1, 2 and 3) before beginning any work. It is the responsibility of all project directors to ensure that their student workers have completed this training. This training is provided through NAU’s Environmental Health and Safety Office and may be accessed through Health and Safety Classes and Online Training. In addition, students planning on using the lab facilities should review our lab safety guidelines, for more information on lab regulations.
