The foremost goal of the Chemical Safety program is to minimize occupational and environmental exposure from hazardous material usage in campus facilities. Toward this end, EHS provides information pertaining to chemical storage and container labeling requirements; compressed gas cylinder use; laboratory safety; hazardous waste disposal and minimization procedures; freon recovery; mercury thermometer exchange; and PCB light ballast disposal and fluorescent light tubes and battery recycling procedures. Program areas include Hazardous Waste Management and Chemical Hygiene.
