Safety compliance specialist helps labs reduce risk and waste

Laura Carter is driven by her love for the environment and dedication to educating others on sustainable practices.

As a safety compliance specialist with UGA’s Environmental Safety Division (ESD), she helps laboratories across campus adopt simple but impactful actions — such as proper chemical storage and disposal — to create a safer, healthier community.

Carter’s dedication to the environmental began early.

“I’ve always really cared about trying to do what I can to help make where we live a better place,” she said. “Being a good steward of the environment and keeping everybody safe has always been something I’ve been super interested in.”
