The Departmental Safety Orientation (DSO) includes

Lab orientations are required for each lab the participant will be working in, with corresponding signatures of lab supervisors required for each lab training session completed.  A copy of the signed DSO form and the safety course certificates must be available in each lab where training has been completed.  The original documents should be provided to Leona Varga, Food Science room 114 (main office) when you obtain relevant key(s) or swipe card access.   Keys or swipe card access can be arranged through email with Lvarga@uoguelph.ca.

For ongoing training, request the original DSO form on file with Leona Varga and append updated training information and signatures. Ensure that a copy of the DSO is available in the additional lab(s) or facilities.
