What Chemical Safety Does
The Chemical Safety team at EH&S is comprised of specialists from various scientific backgrounds providing support to labs for compliance with campus policies and safety regulations. Our primary area of expertise is chemical safety but we also focus on laboratory-related issues around the working environment. Chemical safety also conducts consultations, site assessments, trainings and responds to lab emergencies.

ChemTag Program
-
In 2018, UC Davis launched the ChemTag program to improve the efficiency of chemical inventory management through faster reconciliation of chemicals. This ensures that lab inventories are in compliance with the safety regulations and campus policies. The program utilizes the Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology and the Risk and Safety Solutions (RSS) Chemicals application to easily locate chemicals and share chemicals within the campus community. RFID does not only speed up this process compared to using regular barcodes, but also improve the overall safety on campus as the accurate identities and location of chemicals are known.
