Go here for the University of Calif ornia laboratory design guide:  http://uci h.ucdavis.edu/docs/labdesignguideSept2007.pdf< /p>

Go here for the UC Davis campus standa rds and design guide:  http:// ww2.ae.ucdavis.edu/csdg/  It’s quite extensive.  It has a bit of quirky organization but if you surf around, you’ll find what you want.  Section II, Desi gn Requirements includes general EH&S input with the specific construction divisions have EH&S input as well (fume hoods, biosafety cabinets, etc. ).

It’s been a slog to get a spot a t the table but it starts with personal relationships with architects and engineers.  I was invited to my first design team round table with the design professionals and our campus architect/project manager about 7 years ago.  When I arrived and was introduced as EH&S, a notable groan w ent up around the table.  I had reviewed the plan set ahead of time and discovered an acid neutralization tank had been proposed.  At the roun d table, my first item was to have them remove the neutralization tank, savin g the project about $100K.  After that, I haven’t had too much tro uble getting invited.

Good luck!

Group,

I am looking to formalize a process to ensure EH &S specifications are considered for all Engineering Projects such as new buildings, renovation, demolition .. etc.   I appreciate any resources you all may have.  

Thanks
