Managing Inventories -
Managing Safety
EH&S manages a campus-wide chemical
inventory system to help our community
prepare, prevent and respond in the event of an
emergency.
EH&S has reviewed and scored over
40,000
chemicals to create a unique hazard ranking
system to better assess EH&S assistance and
training needs for that laboratory.
