Safety
Safety is a core value at the MagLab. The lab has a comprehensive set of programs designed to ensure the safest possible conditions for faculty, staff, users, and visitors.
The MagLab uses Integrated Safety Management (ISM) as a process to ensure safe, quality work. Training on applying this process to lab tasks is required for all staff, faculty and users, as well as for long-term visitors.
Users must complete safety training before working. While working at the MagLab, users have support from a user support scientist, technicians, and the safety department to ensure both their technical and safety needs are met.
Staff, users, or visitors can access the MagLab Safety Team 24/7 at 855-SAFEMAG or safety@magnet.fsu.edu or use the Near Miss System to report a safety concern, no matter how small. Specialized online safety training for staff and users is also available.
