Environmental Health & Safety has launched the new EHS Assistant (EHSA) system. To ensure ease of adoption and understanding, it is rolling out in phases. During each phase, EH&S will contact and arrange an orientation followed by access to the system. Access to the system will not be granted until orientation is complete. For questions, contact EH&S at EHSASupport@uab.edu

When adding a chemical to your inventory, a new storage location is created. This helps you manage and organize your lab efficiently. Common storage locations include "flammable cabinet," "refrigerator," "freezer," "acid cabinet," "Chemical storage shelf," etc. Please check your list of existing storage locations before creating a new one to avoid duplicates like multiple "chemical storage shelf" entries.
