Extracurricular student groups enrich post-secondary experience, but the multi-disciplinary nature of student-led engineering and science organizations can facilitate higher risk environments than encountered in the classroom or laboratory. Policies for student-led organizations are often designed for general, institution-wide use and may lack appropriate safety-related requirements and language. This presentation will describe how Columbia EH&S worked with various engineering and chemistry student organizations to incorporate safety into their everyday operations. Case studies ranging from Rocketry to Chemistry Outreach will be discussed.
