Chemical Inventory

Each area storing or using hazardous materials must maintain an inventory under the requirements of the Chemical Hygiene Plan and the Hazard Communication Program. Supervisors designated by these programs must maintain and provide an inventory to Environment, Health and Safety. Inventories are used to help Environment, Health and Safety provide safety resources and information to users, and helps us determine the relevant information for regulatory agencies and emergency responders. 

Laboratories and shops using BioRAFT/SciShield safety software must maintain their inventory in the included ChemTracker module. Directions on how to add inventory, edit and move items can be found in our Chemical Inventory in BioRAFT Guide. If you have been barcoded, you can also refer to the Chemical Inventory Barcoding Guide for directions. EH&S is going through campus and barcoding chemicals as part of an update to the inventory process. Feel free to reach out with any questions.

Groups not in BioRAFT/SciShield should contact the Chemical Hygiene Officer and use the provided Chemical Inventory Template to track their inventory in the interim.
