We are one of a few institutions that allow minors to come into our laboratories for educational purposes.
Augusta University recognizes that volunteering or working in a laboratory can provide valuable learning experiences to young people. However, because there are possible safety and health repercussions that can occur, minors (age 16-18) must gain prior approval to work in laboratories or other hazardous areas.
No person under the age of 16 is allowed to work in these areas.
To obtain approval for a minor to work in a laboratory or other high-risk Augusta University program, you will need to review the checklist for information. If you have any questions, please contact us for assistance.
Before filling out the required forms, please review all the important information and policies regarding minors in labs and other hazardous areas that could pose a risk to their health and safety.
Please read the following policies to ensure compliance with all notifications, reviews, and training of minors to work in the labs
If a minor is injured in a lab, use these forms to report it to Augusta University.
