Lab close-out or move

Starting a new lab

EHS must be notified before a laboratory is newly occupied. EHS will assist you with the lab start-up in accordance with the EHS 405 Laboratory Start-up/Close-out policy and provide guidance and assistance to ensure that all hazardous materials regulations and EHS policies are addressed. 

Closing out or moving a lab 

If you are closing out or moving an existing lab, moving or transferring a piece of equipment or disposing of equipment:

• EHS must approve the relocation, removal or submission to surplus of all equipment that has been used in a laboratory or used to store hazardous materials. Please submit an Equipment Move or Clearance form in CEMS. Additional guidance on equipment moves is available.  
• For laboratory moves or closures, please complete a Laboratory Close-Out form in CEMS. Laboratory close-out guidance is available.  
• Refer to EHS 405 Laboratory Start-up/Close-out for additional information.
