Welcome to the Online Safety Training Manual for the Lower Division Biology Program atTexas A&M University . The manual is designed to help students prepare for lab experiments, help instructors with safety training and chemical spill management, and help the technical staff safely prepare, store and dispose of chemical reagents. The online manual supports the following laboratory courses: Biology 101, Biology 107, Biology 111, Biology 112 and Biology 123. I am thankful to the thousands of students and hundreds of instructors who have contributed to the development of this manual. You are encouraged to visit the Office of Environmental Health and Safety home page and their online safety manual for additional safety information for Texas A&M University.
