Chemical Inventories

All research laboratories, shops and spaces are required to maintain a chemical inventory that includes all hazardous chemicals stored in the laboratory. Chemical inventories are maintained through the system. PIs, or their TA's/GS's/Lab Manager are responsible for review and updating inventory records.

a cross-functional EH&S platform designed specifically for institutions of higher education that supports safety compliance, chemical inventories, and compliance inspections.

Maintaining the chemical inventory:

  1. Access the inventory using CampusOptics system.
  2. Review the inventory at the beginning of each semester and update as needed.
