Emergency Action Plans

The Laboratory Safety Manual requires principal investigators and laboratory supervisors to develop emergency action plans for their laboratories. Refer to Section C. Emergency Planning in the manual for a description of the information that should be included. An Emergency Action Plan template has been developed to help you get started.
