Has the institution implemented a campus-wide inventory system to facilitate the reuse of laboratory chemicals?:
Yes

None
A brief description of the program:
Safety & Risk Services staff reviews all requests for disposal of laboratory chemicals for opportunities to reuse chemicals in other college laboratories or programs. There is no district-wide inventory program to facilitate reuse of laboratory chemicals because unlike colleges with research laboratories that have extensive chemical inventories and varied laboratory operations, there are few opportunities in a two year college teaching environment to reuse laboratory chemicals between teaching laboratories. The teaching laboratories are also encouraged to purchase chemicals in small quantities to prevent overstock situations.
