Undergraduate and graduate students must be able to recognize hazards, assess risks, minimize risks, and prepare for proper execution of potentially hazardous processes.
This set of guidelines supports institutions, from two-year college programs into graduate programs. They were developed with college and graduate students in mind, using the RAMP framework for scientific safety.
