In compliance with the University's Laboratory Safety and Registration of Laboratories policies, Principal Investigators/ Laboratory Supervisors are required to register their laboratories through Environmental Health & Safety (EH&S) in our newly implemented Laboratory Registration System.
Additionally, EH&S is actively enhancing the system by introducing new features as
it expands. According to the EH&S Laboratory Safety policy, a laboratory is defined as a room or space equipped with chemical, biological, radiological,
or other hazardous materials, research animals, or mechanical equipment, and is utilized
for teaching, research, observation, or measurement purposes. This includes academic,
research, clinical, engineering labs, machine shops and makerspaces. However, the
following types of laboratory spaces are exempt from laboratory registration: If you are uncertain about whether your lab needs to be registered, please reach out
to us at labsafety@stonybrook.edu for clarification. Before EH&S assigns laboratory registration to each Principal Investigator (PI)/Laboratory
Supervisor, a permit is generated in our Safety Management System. This permit serves
as a tool to allocate the assessments required for registering your laboratory space.
It doesn't authorize specific tasks but assists EH&S in organizing each department
and PI efficiently. To register your lab space, you'll need the following information:
