Recent Lab Inspection Reports can be found here.  This is the new ChemSW site we are now using to log and keep track of all inspections.

Door sign Template can be found here . Delete the symbols etc. that don't apply to your lab.  Print it in colour and have the main office laminate it for you.

NOTE: ABB has an OHSA Regulation 1101, 1st Aid Kit supplied by EOHSS. There is one in the Chemistry & Chemical Biology Main Office (ABB 156). You DO NOT need to have a regulation kit in your lab! If you decide to have one, you must ensure a person in your lab is certified with the 2 Day Standard 1st Aid Training. A log and inventory of the kit must be kept by this person and only this person can issue items from the 1st Aid Kit.

Should you decide to have a regulation kit, your 1st Aid Kit should have the following:
