Benefits
- The myLab system helps build a safer research environment at ¿´Æ¬ÊÓƵ by providingÌýemergency response units with immediate access to critical information in the event of an accident or emergency. Fire department, police, ambulance services and other first responders require access to information on hazardous materials stored at the location of an accident or emergency before entering the site.
- Accurate documentation and up-to-date chemical inventories will help labs comply with regulations regarding labeling of controlled products, chemical compatibility and storage.
- Better chemical inventory management will discourage over purchasing, reduce waste, space demands, and costs to the University and help eliminate deteriorating chemicals from lab inventories.
- The web-based system allows laboratories to share their inventories of chemicals within departments.
- Decommissioning of labs can be labour-intensive and costly for departments. Better management with myLab means simpler and safer clean-up operations.
