Welcome to the Online Safety Training Manual for the Introductory Biology Program at Texas 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 123, Biology 123 honors, Biology 124, Biology 124 honors, Botany 101 and Zoology 107. I am thankful to the thousands of students and hundreds of instructors who have contributed to the development of this manual. A hard copy of the manual for the appropriate lab course is in the reference set in each lab room. 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.
