To help make maintaining safe research spaces as simple as possible, the Research and Academic Safety Committee invites he U-M research and creative practice communities to submit innovative ways they incorporate safety into their every day work in a way that makes their work simpler and safer.
The best ideas are the ones that fit seamlessly into your day, whether you’re in a lab, studio, workshop or any creative space across campus. Tactics and methods that help streamline the processes that keep everyone in laboratories, studios and shops safe while ensuring the highest standards of research quality and compliance.
