Overview

The KAUST Research Safety team makes every effort to keep our scientists, students and faculty members safe on campus and in the laboratory. We develop policies, procedures, bulletins and guidelines to prevent risks and accidents from occurring. Training programs are held on several laboratory safety topics throughout the year. It is our priority to investigate incidents that occur in the labs to prevent future safety hazards. Our lab safety team monitors compliance through inspections and keeps our University leadership informed of all non-compliance issues.
