The Database - information collected and tracked by the
inventory system
Varies from small to large, simple to complex
◦ Individual amounts and algorithms to calculate total
amounts

Selection of database system depends on regulations
and tracking interests
◦ The size of the database may dictate how advanced your
inventory management system needs to be

Examples:
o
For synthesis labs
• Enter synthesis products into inventory, or
• just label properly
o
For Numerous Samples or Standards
• Keep track of individual vials after preparation, or
• Track batches, or
• Just label properly





Locate away from general employee population
Fire suppression system or fire response team
Inspect equipment periodically, replace as needed
Outdoors and well ventilated
58
Small Facility


1- 50 Deliviers per day
Few locations
◦ Department or building
◦ Delivery to labs


Fewer manager and
employee support
Smaller quantity of chemical

◦ Recessed noncombustible floors,
◦ Containment so a leak from one
container does not contact other
containers,
◦ Raised steel or fiberglass grating,
◦ Removable grating and supports for
clean up of any leaked material,
◦ Separate secondary containment to
prevent mixing of spilled/leaked
materials.

Store large volumes of
chemical waste in buildings
with few people
◦ Access restricted to
responsible personnel
◦ Divide into chemically
compatible groups
◦ Provide safety equipment and
alarms
62



closed
◦ Label with compatibility group





Use secondary containment
Wipe-off outside of container
before returning to storage area
Secure Chemicals Of Concern (COC)
Fasten shelves to wall or floor
Shelves have a lip and/or rod
63

Emergency Response Equipment
