Laboratory (lab) definition
Laboratory (lab) means an instructional setting in which students work independently with the instructor available and in the instructional area for assistance and supervision.
Laboratory (lab) means a research or clinical setting where scientific research or instruction is conducted. Laboratories often contain hazardous materials (e.g., hazardous chemicals, biohazardous agents, etc.) and/or physical safety hazards (e.g., moving machinery parts, extreme temperature, electrical apparatus, etc.). For purposes of this policy, a laboratory does not include dry or computational laboratories or any other laboratories where no hazardous chemicals, radiation or biological materials are handled or stored and where no physical safety hazards are identified.
