"---" indicates that no data was submitted for this field

Has the institution implemented a campus-wide inventory system to facilitate the reuse of laboratory chemicals?:
Yes

A brief description of the program:

We have a database that will have every chemical bottle inventoried along with health and safety information. Among the main objectives of the system was to facilitate the sharing of chemicals. I have already seen instances of old chemicals being used that nobody knew were available. It also keeps track of lab equipment to avoid duplication there too.
