Hazardous Chemicals

Inventory

  • Chemical inventory is used to keep track of chemicals that you and your faculty supervisor purchase, use, store or ship.
  • The link to update your supervisor’s inventory is found at EHRSM's website.
  • Updating the faculty specific chemical inventory is the responsibility of the faculty member or an assigned individual working in the lab.

Storage

  • ALL chemicals must be segregated based on compatibility in order to prevent dangerous chemical reactions that result in serious harm to users.
  • Follow the NFPA rating found on Safety Data Sheets (SDS) or view the information and templates provided by EHSRM's website

Use
