At UCR the Provost chose to establish a ‘departmental responsibility’ for lab audits.

EH&S provides the information, training and software to conduct a lab inspection.

The departments then decide how/who will conduct inspections (and when they are due within 365 days)..

Some departments have assigned this to the Faculty who have reassigned it to their graduate student or post-doc.

Other department have their departmental Chemical Hygiene Officer or other staff member conduct all the audits

 

The EH&S Audit Specialist reviews the audit results, inspects the reporting completed follow-ups and contacts a random audit here and there.

Subject: [DCHAS-L] Laboratory Inspections

 

A few questions asked by our Administration:

1.       What is the frequency of EH&S –led laboratory inspections for those of you in large  academic research institutions?

2.       # of EHS staff whose primary role is inspections?

        3.  Are Individual PI’s or Departments required to inspect  their labs?  How often?

 

Thanks,
