GSSC introduces standardized safety training for graduate students, enhancing their preparation for lab-based careers.
The Graduate Student Safety Certificate (GSSC) hosted by the Campus Safety, Health, and Environmental Management Association is introduced and described. The GSSC is a unique certificate program aimed at combining online safety training (coursework currently offered by the American Institute of Chemical Engineers), practical experiences, and collaborative efforts through industry partnerships. The GSSC offers graduate students standardized safety training for their careers in science, especially in lab-based careers, by expanding their laboratory safety exposure and training beyond the microcosm of their home institution, department, and research laboratory. This safety certificate strives to help bridge the gap that exists between the industry and academic safety culture. The GSSC is also aimed at professional development and advancement of the graduate students with these certificates by providing them with unified recognition of their commitment to safety culture.
