UCSD laboratories are audited for safety and compliance twice a year by EH&S Research Assistance Program specialists. Audit results help both researchers and EH&S identify and correct problems to maintain a safe work area and ensure compliance with regulations.
The laboratory safety audit scoring system assigns 1, 4, or 16 points to violations, depending on severity. Points will double for repeat violations.
The audit score is the total number of violation points. A laboratory with three 4-point violations would receive a score of 12 points. The goal for all laboratories is zero points.
