EHS Registration
Registration
Laboratories are required to be registered on an annual basis following these instructions. The Principal Investigator, PI, or their designee completes the registration process. If you are a new or existing Principal Investigator, the method for registering your lab spaces will be the same. Please log in to CEMS with your ASURITE and password.
Once logged in:
- Locate and click the Registration form tab, then
- Fill out the form by clicking new record and following the prompts.
If you are a new PI, EHS will reach out to conduct a startup consultation shortly after submitting the Registration form.
Chemical inventory management
Principal Investigators or their designee can manage chemical inventories online. CEMS has tutorials and additional information on purchasing, managing and disposing of chemicals.

General information
The ASU Green Labs program is important because laboratories are responsible for disproportionately high energy use, often consuming 3-8 times more energy per square foot than other office buildings. Lab operations involve increased ventilation requirements for occupant safety, longer operating hours and energy intensive equipment needs such as chemical fume hoods, autoclaves and clean rooms. The Green Labs Program assists in reducing energy use and implementing other sustainable practices through education and alternative solutions such as the fume hood “Shut the Sash” energy conservation program which reminds researchers to shut the fume hood sash when it is not in use. Other reasons to make your lab Green include:
- Certification earns recognition on the lab safety registration placard and individual certificates.
- Green Labs certification may help increase the likelihood of receiving grant funding.
- Help support sustainability at ASU by reducing waste and conserving energy in labs.
- Most Green Labs practices are straightforward and may be activities the lab staff already performs.
Steps to attain Green Labs certification
- Verify your lab has a current EHS Laboratory Safety Registration.
- Verify the lab group shares agreement to pursue ASU Green Labs Certification.
- Designate a Green Lab Coordinator for the lab.
- Complete a PDF version of the application and email Green Labs.
The ASU Green Labs program was honored in 2014 with the ASU President’s Award for Sustainability.
