Environmental Health & Safety is excited to implement the new EHS Assistant (EHSA) system. To ensure it is a sustainable and useful tool, we are rolling it out in phases. During your phase, you will be contacted by EHS to attend an orientation and to receive access to the system. You will not be able to access the system before you attend the orientation. If you have questions, please contact EHS at EHSASupport@uab.edu.

A new storage location is created during adding a chemical to your inventory. You can easily manage and keep organized lab by creating them along with your needs. The most common locations are "flammables", "fridge", "freezer", "acids", "base", "shelf A" etc. Please check the list of your "storage locations" before creating a new one to avoid multiple "shelf A" etc.
