Chemical Exchange

The Chemical Exchange program allows MyChem users to share unused chemical inventory to save money and reduce waste.

Chemical Hazard Communication (HazCom)

The Chemical Hazard Communication (HazCom) Program addresses how to classify chemical hazards, and communicate about the hazards and safeguards required to protect people from exposure.

Chemical SOPs

EH&S provides SOP templates and guidelines for using chemicals safely.

Chemical Spills in Laboratories

Be prepared with proper training, cleanup supplies and personal protective equipment to manage spills easily and safely.

Chemical Treatment and Recycling

Efforts towards pollution prevention at the UW include treatment by generator, universal waste management and recycling.

Chemical Waste Disposal

Know the procedures for handling and disposing of hazardous chemical waste.

Fume Hoods: Use, Inspection and Maintenance

EH&S can assist with facility design, procurement, installation and testing of fume hoods.

MyChem

Manage your chemical inventory, access safety data sheets, and dispose of or recycle chemicals in the MyChem system.

Safety Data Sheets (SDSs)

Safety data sheets describe the physical and health hazards of chemicals or chemical-containing products and can be accessed in MyChem.

Shipping Hazardous Materials

The U.S. Department of Transportation requires training and certification before shipping hazardous materials.

Specific Chemical Hazards

EH&S provides information and guidance on safe practices for handling, storing, transporting and disposing of hazardous chemicals.
