Regarding service animals in chemistry labs
Author Last Post
Kamesh,
Get your Human Resources department involved. While the laboratory may not be the ideal setting for service animals, it was mentioned that the animal should have the same privileges as a walking cane and must be permitted in the laboratory. Good luck!
Hello everyone,

I would like to hear the policies established at your institution regarding service animals (dogs) in chemistry labs. We have a student who needs a dog companion in the lab but unfortunately in the lab we cannot guarantee a safe space for the dog. We are supposed to be compliant with ADA and are at a loss as to what we should be doing.
Any advice will be helpful!

Best,
Kamesh
