All research laboratories, shops and spaces are required to maintain a chemical inventory that includes all hazardous chemicals stored in the laboratory. Chemical inventories are maintained through the CampusOptics system. PIs, or their TA's/GS's/Lab Manager are responsible for review and updating inventory records.
Maintaining the chemical inventory:
- Access the inventory using CampusOptics system.
- Review the inventory at the beginning of each semester and update as needed.
CampusOptics, a cross-functional EH&S platform designed specifically for institutions of higher education that supports safety compliance, chemical inventories, and compliance inspections.

With the new system, you will have to create a user login. Search your inbox for an email from "CampusOptics" that provides a link to create the login or notify EHS and we will have the system re-send the link (EHS cannot create logins for users).
- Its also required that the PI of labs register to use the system. EHS knows majority of lab spaces have TA's/GA's and/or a lab manager doing the work, but we also like to have PIs use the system just to oversee and view other items within the site (Assets, SDS's).
