Users at CHESS must complete safety training before working in any of our laboratories or experimental areas. Below you will find basic safety information, as well as the training that all new users must complete.

CHESS Safety Committee
The CHESS Safety Committee reviews all incoming proposals and determines which ones need additional oversight or special safety procedures. These proposals are deemed "hazardous," and are assigned a safety officer. Sometimes, the safety committee may contact users for additional information about the experimental plan before the proposal is approved. Upon arrival, users working on a hazardous proposal must meet with their safety officer before beginning their experiment.
The committee may be reached at chess-safety@cornell.edu
