Principal Investigators and/or Lab Supervisors are responsible for making sure that all temporary members of their lab are tracked within the appropriate University systems and are compliant with all safety regulations. This may include training on SciShield. These requirements apply to visiting researchers, staff, faculty, interns, and summer students.
Principal Investigators should start by emailing ece-hr@umd.edu to alert the Department to any visitors. Additionally, a visitor's name, email, end date, and job activities should be provided to labsafety@umd.edu, who will create a temporary account on SciShield for the visitor. If the individual is required to take any form of safety training due to their job activities, they must do so before gaining access to the lab space.
