The Environmental Health & Safety Office (EHSO) has implemented an update to the Equipment Hazard Tag procedure. Effective immediately, clients will no longer be required to complete the traditional Equipment Hazard Tag form.
Instead, clients must now complete the online Equipment Hazard Survey. Upon submission and review of the survey, EHSO will provide Equipment Decontaminated Tag(s) directly to the client for placement on the associated equipment.
This change streamlines the equipment clearance process, ensures consistency in hazard communication, and improves documentation accuracy.
If you have any questions regarding the updated procedure or need assistance with the Equipment Hazard Survey, please contact EHSO at biosafe@emory.edu.
Thank you for your cooperation as we continue to enhance safety and compliance standards.
ChemTracker is the chemical inventory module, which is an integrated feature of SciShield. It offers real-time inventory and tracking capability, a streamlined and user-friendly interface, and provides features such as access to Safety Data Sheets (SDSs), bulk inventory uploading, barcoding, and allows Principal Investigators (PIs) to set permissions for their staff for managing and updating chemical inventories. ChemTracker offers comprehensive chemical inventory management for laboratories and allows EHSO to generate reports for regulatory purposes.

Unlocking the Value of EHS in Higher Education
Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) offices are a critical component of higher education and function to protect people and environment as institutions persevere to teach, increase knowledge through research, and provide care to patients. To promote a better understanding of the value of EHS offices in higher education the following video describes the role of EHS and how it functions to provide intrinsic value to an institution.
