The facility is for CTRC approved project use only. It is not open to the general public, and it is not safe for untrained personnel. If you don’t recognize somebody (and everybody should be wearing ID badges) ask them politely to identify themselves.

Please also report any lab misconduct or problems immediately so that corrective action can be taken.

If you are working in or around the lab with patient samples, and you inadvertently stick yourself with a contaminated needle or get splashed with a contaminated substance such as blood, urine, or feces, you should wash the affected area with warm soapy water or use the eye wash station located in the lab, if the substance is in direct contact with your eyes or facial area.
Once you have thoroughly cleansed the area you are responsible for call the Exposure Hot Line at 919.966.9119 and you will be given further instruction from the nurse what to do next in accordance with university policy. You will need to fill out an incident report and give a copy to the Janette Goins, Director of Nursing. These forms will be provided to you by EHS. It is your responsibility to report all exposure injuries to EHS in order to receive appropriate care post-exposure.
Please review the University Employee Occupational Health Clinic website contained in Environmental Health and Safety to become familiarized with this section before planning to use the Investigator Lab.
