Safety in the Science Lab (SC 1807) WHMIS (SC 1808)

You will access these courses on Brightspace using your my.mun.ca login ID.

At the Marine Institute, safety is an integral part of all programs. As a first-year technical certificate or diploma of technology student, it is mandatory for you to complete two safety courses before on-campus labs begin for the semester. When you registered for your fall courses, you should have also enrolled in two specific courses: SC 1807 - Safety in Science Lab (Lab Safety) and SC 1808 - WHMIS.

Both courses are designed to be completed in a short duration, usually taking no more than two hours each. Each course consists of a series of presentations followed by a quiz. To successfully complete the courses, you must achieve a minimum score of 80% on the quizzes.

Once you have finished a course, it is crucial that you print the proof of completion document, available under the "awards" section in Brightspace. You must present this document to your instructor before gaining access to the labs. Ensuring you have completed these courses and obtained the proof of completion is vital for your safety and eligibility to participate in the labs.

Please note that SC 1807 and SC 1808 only need to be completed once during your certificate or diploma program.

Note: If you do not have these courses completed by Tuesday, September 3rd, you will have to complete them in the computer lab during orientation.

Questions about laboratory safety and the SC 1807 and SC 1808 courses can be directed to labsafety@mun.ca
