How to use this tool
Hazardous chemicals must be stored, labeled and inventoried properly to avoid confusion or mistaken identity of a chemical, to provide separation of incompatible materials, and to provide information for emergency response personnel.
| Storage and labeling | How to do this? |
|---|---|
| All Hazardous Chemicals | 1. Refer to the chemical safety database to determine Stanford University storage groups for specific chemicals. 2. See Stanford’s Chemical Compatibility Chart. |
| NSAR Select Toxins | 1. In addition to the general requirements for storing and labeling hazardous chemicals, provide one layer of physical security (i.e. toxin secured within locked freezer or secured within a permanently fixed lock box) for select agent toxins. 2. See the Select Agent Toxins subtopic for more information. |
| Controlled Substances (acquired under SU’s Institutional Program) | 1. In addition to the general requirements for storing and labeling hazardous chemicals, controlled substances must be stored and labeled according the institutional program. 2. Specifically controlled substances must be stored in a securely locked substantially constructed cabinet located where access is limited. EXCEPTION: Thiafentanil, carfentanil, etorpine hydrochloride, and diprenorphine must be stored in a safe. |

| Inventory | How to do this? |
|---|---|
| All Hazardous Chemicals | Track inventory online via Chemtracker 4. |
| NSAR Select Toxins | In addition to tracking the inventory online, ensure that exempt quantity levels are not exceeded by promptly updating Chemtracker 4 after every container of NSAR Select Toxin is acquired depleted or inactivated. |
| Controlled Substances | In addition to tracking the inventory online, maintain a continuous usage log using SU’s Controlled Substance Usage Log. |
