UniFi System Information for Purchasers of
Chemical, Biological, Nuclear and Other Laboratory and Office Equipment
The Department of Health, Safety and Environment carries responsible for
administering activities across campus for a wide variety of substances under various
federal and provincial legislation. Some requires that we control the purchase of
certain restricted materials while others require that we accumulate and report data
on the campus wide purchase of specific materials. In other cases, we are charged
with the responsibility to monitor and ensure that certain types of equipment
purchased for workplace use meets minimum standards.
Each section below details the UniFi Code requirements for purchasing the specific
material. Anyone who purchases materials within these classifications is responsible
for ensuring that they use the correct and appropriate code.
Questions regarding any purchasing code dictated here can be directed to the
corresponding DHSE manager or to the main DHSE office.

NUCLEAR SUBSTANCES
All nuclear substances (sealed and unsealed) purchases will contUPe under the same
procedure; nuclear substance requisition completed, signed, and sent to the
Radiation Safety Office (RSO) for ordering. Theses products will be ordered by the
RSO using the following codes:

CHEMICAL SUBSTANCES
Before ordering any chemical check the following list which contains a detailed list of
unique and generic chemical substances for which certain UniFi Codes must be used.
These are compounds which are either restricted or monitored under one or more
federal or provincial monitoring programs.
Those compounds which are not specifically or generically listed should be ordered
according to the table below. Most laboratory chemicals will be ordered through one
of the following codes.
Description
