Safety Calendar

The MSD Safety Calendar is a tool available to principal investigators, satellite waste accumulation area managers and other lab personnel to schedule recurring EH&S activities. Use of the Calendar is voluntary. Every month the PI will receive an e-mail reminding him/her of the recommended activities for that month.
