MyChem requires users to upload a safety data sheet (SDS) when adding a new chemical to an inventory if that chemical does not currently exist in the MyChem database. If you have chemicals in your MyChem inventory that do not have an SDS linked to them, you must either upload the missing SDS or have an easily accessible copy of the SDS in your workspace to remain in compliance.
Keeping your safety documents up to date and easily accessible are key for staying safe.
The Laboratory Safety program oversees safety and compliance in all UW research and teaching laboratory spaces to reduce the risk of injury and exposure, decrease the risk of property loss, lessen the likelihood of lost research, and minimize environmental damage.
University personnel who generate hazardous chemical waste for the University, including all campuses and off-site locations, are required to follow chemical waste management practices when selecting appropriate containers, labeling and storing containers.
Refer to the UW Laboratory Safety Manual for additional information.
This report shows the most recent survey status of UW laboratories' safety facilities and equipment (eye washes, fire extinguishers, emergency showers and autoclaves). Its data is ordered by building/department/equipment type/room.
