The purpose of laboratory inspections is to assist faculty and staff in recognizing and correcting potential health and safety hazards, minimizing risks to laboratory personnel, students, and the campus community. Environmental Health & Safety (EH&S) Laboratory Safety group conducts routine inspections across various locations at Stony Brook, including academic, research, clinical, engineering labs, machine shops, and makerspaces. These inspections cover general safety, chemical safety, biological safety, and hazardous waste management.
Upon completion of an EH&S inspection, identified issues requiring correction will
be communicated via email to individuals acknowledged as responsible parties. This
notification enables them to access the inspection report. The Laboratory Safety team
will request corrections based on inspection findings, offering consultations and
suggestions to facilitate practical and sustainable changes within the laboratory.
Note: If a serious or imminent hazard is discovered during a safety inspection, the
matter will be promptly addressed by EH&S to ensure immediate resolution.
