Working with Chemicals

The Medical College of Wisconsin is committed to ensuring a safe, healthy and compliant workplace for all employees and visitors as well as environmentally sound practices. To achieve that goal, the College has established a Hazardous Chemical Committee which reviews work with select carcinogens, teratogens, mutagens, acutely toxic chemicals, and other hazardous chemicals that could pose an occupational health or environmental release risk. The Committee members work with Principal Investigators in the establishment of a safe work environment for employees and an environmentally sound waste stream process.
