Children in Labs
University of California Policy: Minors in Labs and Shops
In the interests of health and safety, it is the policy of University of California, Berkeley - Bakar Labs to restrict the presence of children in laboratories and other areas that present physical, chemical, biological or other potential health hazards.
In general, children should be prohibited from any areas that may expose them to a potentially hazardous condition including chemical hazards. It is especially important that children avoid hazardous chemical exposures because of their smaller body mass, higher metabolisms, developing immune and neurosystems and a general lack of hazard recognition ability.
Babies and infants are prohibited from labs and research/teaching and support spaces where any hazardous materials are stored or actively used.
Children are prohibited from areas that store or use research and teaching animals, extremely hazardous chemicals, radioisotopes, listed carcinogens or biohazardous agents.
