The Oak Ridge National Laboratory is in the process of reviewing the mechanisms used to maintain compliance with maximum allowable quantities of hazardous materials per applicable building and fire codes. We are particularly interested in talking to research institutions that handle a diversity of materials including materials synthesized in house. If your institution fits this description and you are interested in comparing processes, please contact me by phone (865-574-4945) or by e-mail (jeskiekb**At_Symbol_Here**ornl.gov). Topics for discussion may include: * How does your institution track compliance with codes? * If this includes inventory tracking, how frequently are inventories compared to code limits? * Who enforces (regulator and internal) inventory management? * How do you classify hazardous materials and keep track of the classifications? * How do you deal with inventories over code limits (what's the margin of error)? * How do you manage 'float' within their inventory system?
