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.

In order to request a hazardous waste (hazardous, radioactive, universal, etc.) pickup, you must first have a valid User Waste ID (Hazardous Waste Request Profile). You will need to edit your User Waste ID (Hazardous Waste Request Profile) to include additional PIs if you do not see them in the drop-down list.

  1. On the EHSA Home Screen: Select “Waste Pickup Request”

For those PIs or Responsible Managers who occupy multiple buildings and/or labs: select those you use most often and click “Yes” next to default. For any PI or Responsible Manager, you will be able to change locations, if necessary, on the “Add a waste request” screen. Select “Attach” to add to your profile.
