All minors (younger than 18), whether they are a student, employee or volunteer, must have a completed Safety of Minors in Research process BEFORE beginning any work or conducting any research in a University of Kentucky research lab, greenhouse, animal facility or field work. The lab's principal investigator where the minor will be working is responsible for completing this process.
Note: no one younger than 14 is permitted to work or conduct research in the above listed locations at the university unless it is a UK sponsored program designed for youth (training and safety policies must be documented with the university).
Please follow this link to complete the process:
If you have questions about this process, please contact Arts and Sciences Space and Facilities or labsafety@uky.edu directly.
