The regulation was issued on November 20, 2007 and FIU’s response deadline is January 20, 2008. In order to meet this deadline, the Department of Environmental Health & Safety, with the full support of the University Compliance Office, Academic Affairs and OSRA requests your cooperation as follows:

ACTION REQUIRED:
Please do the following in sequence:

In accordance with existing requirements of the Chemical Hygiene Standard (29 CFR 1910.1450), and the Employee Right to Know (29 CFR 1910.1200), update the inventory of chemicals in use or in storage for your lab(s) using FORM 1

Note: FORM 1, referenced above, is provided for convenience and is the preferred format; however, you may submit your inventory with the minimum required information (chemical name, CAS Number, quantity, and unit of measure) in a format that is convenient for you. If necessary, EH&S will follow-up with you for additional required information.

Using the information on FORM 1 or your inventory, cross-reference FORM 1 against FORM 2 (DHS Chemicals of Interest) and input in the appropriate cell, the quantity and unit of measure for those chemicals that appear on FORM 2.

Assure your contact and lab location information is properly filled in on both FORM 1 and FORM 2

IMPORTANT! Please name your files as follows:

Chemical inventory or FORM 1 should be named: “FORM1-deptname-bldg-room#” e.g. FORM1-EHS-CSC-162
FORM 2 (DHS Chemicals of Interest) should be named: “FORM2-deptname-bldg-room#” e.g. FORM2-EHS-CSC-162

Submit FORM 1 and FORM 2 to ehslabs@fiu.edu on, or before December 21, 2007

IMPORTANT! Please keep a copy of the forms submitted readily accessible. EH&S will post the answers to Frequently Asked Questions as we receive these questions, and share information with our colleagues at other colleges and universities who are also working furiously to comply with this mandate.
