September 11, 2001
Events on this day changed forever how Universities perceived laboratory safety and security.

SUNY’s Expectations
December 30, 2002 memo from Chancellor King to Advisory Council Presidents questions chemical and laboratory security on SUNY campuses.
![Page 4: Chemical Tracking Systems](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051402/56815d59550346895dcb63de/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Specifically asked:•Are critical areas properly identified?
•Are federal requirements known?
•Have we reviewed the credentials of all who have access to sensitive procedures?
•Have those who have access been properly trained in security procedures?

SUNY Fredonia’s Response
Discuss chemical and laboratory management practices with applicable departments to determine what level of security exists on campus and who is responsible for it.
Responsible?
Good Question !
![Page 6: Chemical Tracking Systems](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051402/56815d59550346895dcb63de/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Chemical Security?
Environmental Health & Safety
Who ya gonna call?

EH&S Response
“You can’t secure what you don’t know exists!”
![Page 8: Chemical Tracking Systems](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051402/56815d59550346895dcb63de/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
What did we need to know?
What chemicals we have on site.
Where chemicals are stored and used.
How much is in each location.

WHAT
Simply put…
WHERE HOW MUCH
![Page 10: Chemical Tracking Systems](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051402/56815d59550346895dcb63de/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
A QUESTION?
What is the most dangerous chemical on your campus?
THE UNKNOWN CHEMICAL
![Page 11: Chemical Tracking Systems](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051402/56815d59550346895dcb63de/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
THE ASSIGNMENT:(Should EH&S choose to accept it)
Find a way to better secure the chemicals stored and used on campus!
EH&S

THE SOLUTION:
GO SHOPPING
Of Course!

Putting the Pieces Together
![Page 15: Chemical Tracking Systems](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051402/56815d59550346895dcb63de/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
KEY CONSIDERATIONS . . .
How will we track the What, Where, and How Much?
Who are the key players?
What are the available resources?
→ Identify Software
→ EH&S
→ Academic Departments
→ Technical Support
→ Available Staffing
→ Financial Limitations
→ Time Commitments
→ Locate WWHM
→ Current Inventory

Software Review
Internet-based softwareReduced initial expense / Greater maintenance expense
Pre-packaged softwareGreater initial expense / Reduced maintenance expense
ADVANTAGES Quicker Implementation Reduced Maintenance
Challenges
DISADVANTAGES Lack of Expert Knowledge
at Local Level Limited Functionality Overall Cost/Hidden Fees Training Requirements

Alternative Approach
Combining broad talents and expertise
“Cost Effective?”
Chemical Biological Committee:
Identified Functionality
Final revisions
Created Detailed Illustration
Hired outside vendor to assist in building the shell module in existing software program based on EH&S illustration and spec’s
Purchased and incorporated additional software and hardware components to allow bar code printing and scanning
Conceived and Developed Methodology
Refined and defined additional features
Created compliance / reporting component

Building the Database
From the Ground Up

Chemistry/Biology Departments
Order, unpack, put away chemicalsPrepare solutions and reagents for teaching
labs Waste disposal

Inventory Requirements:
•Amount in the container
•Size of container
•Name of chemical (and synonym)
•Number of containers
•Hazard Type
•CAS Number
•Threshold Amounts

It’s NEVER as easy as you think it will be…………… Phenol or carbolic acid
3-methyl-1-butanol or isoamyl alcohol
What if the chemical is not on the shelf? Use of alternate print-out
Size of barcode (small bottles are placed in a 50 ml beaker)
![Page 31: Chemical Tracking Systems](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051402/56815d59550346895dcb63de/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Some materials don’t have a CAS numbers….
Another issue encountered:
Can I track them???
•Solutions from vendors…
•Pre-packaged Kits…
•Many enzymes…
