EHS provides a full range of services for management of hazardous materials, including shipment, and hazardous waste.
Our CEMS program includes centralized receiving and delivery of hazardous materials. All hazardous materials (including those shipped from other institutions or research labs) must be delivered to CEMS where the items are entered into the inventory system prior to delivery to end users. CEMS also provides lab and waste supplies, such as hazardous waste containers and labels, glass waste boxes, sharps waste containers, peroxide testing strips, and other items, free of charge. Supplies can be requested through SciShield.
All hazardous waste must be managed in accordance with the University’s policies and state and federal regulations. Supplies for hazardous waste, including primary and secondary containers, labels, and pick-up requests can be requested through SciShield.
The shipment of hazardous materials is a highly regulated process, and there are many rules. As such, please make sure you are aware of the requirements, including training, that is necessary to be compliant with regulations prior to offering items for shipment. Items (even non-hazardous items) shipped to foreign countries may be subject to export controls.
