Safety is a serious issue and all rules must be followed.SILab hallway view into the shop

Our goal is to train all first-year students as soon as possible. If you are an incoming first-year or returning student and you would like to get trained before the semester begins, contact silab@bu.edu.

Training can take up to an hour and be prepared to take notes. The first 25 people who show up to a training time will be admitted, usually only September trainings reach the limit. You can also request training on a walk-in basis.
