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
EHS will conduct inspections to determine individual compliance with local and federal regulations. Annual Laboratory and Fire inspections will be conducted in all research and teaching labs. EHS will also conduct annual Biosafety, Animal Biosafety, or Machine Shop and regular Radiation Safety inspections if your lab contains these materials. You will receive a notification prior to inspection. To help prepare for future inspections, please review the inspection checklists below and perform self-inspections on a regular basis.
