    Welcome to Bachelor and Master Students' Lab Safety Course in CHEM. The course consists of Virtual Lab Space and a Digital Exam. 

    • This is 100 % digital course and you can take it anytime during the year. 
    • This course is compulsory if you wish to take  any lab courses in AALTO CHEM.   
    • Access to CHEM Buildings is also automatically linked to passing this course (unless you have passed "CHEM-A1010 Turvallinen työskentely laboratoriossa" earlier). 
    • After passing this course, you will receive a Lab Pass which MUST be attached on your lab coat before entering the labs.  

    Before your Lab Pass is printed and delivered to you,
    you can still attend the labs after passing Lab Safety Exam:
    just show from your MyCourses/Grades section that you have received over 65 % points from Lab Safety Exam to the teacher of the lab course.

    NOTE: PhD students and other researchers must pass the CHEM Staff's Lab Safety Course (not this one). Ask more information from HR.
