Lab Access & Training

Lab Access
If you require swipe card access you must:
- Have their Supervisor contact the LSO to confirm completion of the appropriate Laboratory Safety Training.
- Submit a key or swipe access request to security services through the appropriate process.
- Access is restricted to individuals who swipe in.
- Do not hold the door open for anyone.
- Access can be revoked at any time for non-compliance with safety policies or procedures, or if access is no longer required for operational reasons.
Faculty of Science & Technology please fill out the training completion form when you have completed training.
