Hi all, I know that this or a similar question has been asked before, but please allow me to ask it once again in a simplified form: For your central chemical storeroom, how is access to chemicals controlled? (assume that the person who is picking up the chemical is wearing appropriate PPE & uses an appropriate transport container): (a) Open Access: all faculty are allowed to enter and take what they want as long as they log the user & amount. (b) Closed Access: no faculty are allowed to enter, and only a few individuals (e.g., trained stockroom employees) have access to the chemicals; faculty request a chemical, and that chemical(s) is either delivered or can be picked up from a check-out window. (c) Limited Access: all faculty have "Open Access" to a subset of chemicals with "lower" hazard ratings and they can simply log out the amount taken; however, for chemicals with "higher" hazard ratings (e.g., NFPA of 3 or 4) it is "Closed Access." Thanks. Feel free to reply directly to me or to the list. Pat -- Dr. Patrick Ceas 312 Regents Hall of Natural Sciences St. Olaf College Northfield, MN 55057 507-786-3560
