Chemical Inventory
All areas on campus that use and store chemicals are required to maintain an accurate chemical inventory. ISU uses a software program called CampusOptics for this purpose. CampusOptics allows users to easily inventory their chemicals, access Safety Data Sheets (SDS), create door signage, and manage hazardous waste.
CampusOptics
CampusOptics is a software is a cross-functional EH&S platform designed specifically for institutions of higher education. It will consolidate and streamline safety tracking across the Campus Operations Unit.
The platform can be accessed from any computer for reporting, scheduling, and data entry ( including Chemical inventory). You will have access to the CampusOptics mobile application to quickly reference building information and documents, locate and manage assets, verify chemical inventory, and carry out inspections.
Chemical inventory is required by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), to ensure that workers are aware of the hazards of chemicals in their work areas. Maintaining an accurate inventory also ensures that Safety Data Sheets (SDS) are available for all chemicals that are present and is a laboratory safety best practice. EHS may also be required to share this information with regulatory agencies and emergency first responders. Accurate inventories also help with hazardous waste management.
EHS is using a platform called CampusOptics to track Chemical Inventory.
