The Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) Office maintains an inventory of hazardous materials for the entire Dalhousie University campus. Chemical inventories are essential for emergency responders and are a legal requirement enforced by the Occupational Health and Safety Act:
 
The EHS Office requests that laboratory supervisors who are responsible for research and teaching laboratories where chemicals are used and stored submit copies of their current inventories. The EHS Office nowrequires the use of the Chemical Inventory Template in order to be uploaded to the Dalhousie online chemical inventory platform. Completed inventories must be forwarded to the EHS Office (via Steve Beaton, Chemical Safety Officer) by August 14, 2015. When completing their inventories, laboratory supervisors should take the opportunity to review their MSDS collection to ensure that they are available and up-to-date (MSDSs must be less than three years old to ensure the hazard information is current).

The EHS Office thanks you for your cooperation.
