Laboratory Safety Medal Program

With the Summer Olympics in Rio this month, Environment, Health & Safety (EHS) will be presenting laboratories with a “medal” certificate based on their laboratory safety assessment from EHS lab inspections. Laboratories that receive an “outstanding” assessment will be awarded a gold medal certificate. Silver medal certificates will be awarded for a “good” assessment and a “fair” assessment will result in a bronze medal. EHS hopes that the Olympic spirit will encourage friendly competition among the labs while promoting safety culture on the UNC campus.
