Has the institution implemented a campus-wide inventory system to facilitate the reuse of laboratory chemicals?:
A brief description of the program:
The biology department minimizes laboratory waste and reuses materials as much as possible. They are the first department to compile a complete inventory of chemicals in their possession. Within the last 12 months, SCU's Environmental Health & Safety consultant and another contractor have performed a campus-wide chemical inventory in order to develop an accurate list of what chemicals are on campus, in what quantities, and where those chemicals are located. This entire effort was undertaken in order to improve the overall University EHS program. This process revealed many chemicals in varying quantities that were no longer required or used. Consequently, these chemicals were collected by All Chemical Disposal, Inc. and processed for disposal through other contractors who perform licensed disposal processes.
