Environmental Health & Safety has launched the new EHS Assistant (EHSA) system. To ensure ease of adoption and understanding, it is rolling out in phases. During each phase, EH&S will contact and arrange an orientation followed by access to the system. Access to the system will not be granted until orientation is complete. For questions, contact EH&S 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.
