Safety in the Lab

Everyone, even outside the lab, must
of course also know and respect the
instructions in case of fire or evacuation from the University [only available in French]

It is essential that anyone working in the lab knows and scrupulously respects the safety instructions, not only for his or her own safety but also for the safety of others.

At the beginning of the practical work in the lab, first year students are trained about the risks to know, the precautions to take and the behaviors to adopt, which they must absolutely understand perfectly before they can work in the laboratories.
