Has the institution implemented a campus-wide inventory system to facilitate the reuse of laboratory chemicals?:
A brief description of the program:
Ohio State Lima. Our campus is very small so we do not have a formal system for redistribution of chemicals. Only chemistry and biology have any chemicals. Biology has very, very few. Whenever biology wants to get rid of any chemicals, we contact the chemistry department to see if it is something chemistry can use. If they do not want it, it is shipped to Columbus to be redistributed or sent to chemical waste. We do have inventories of chemicals for both biology and chemistry that are available to anyone who needs a chemical on our campus. The inventories can be checked to see if it is something already on campus or needs to be ordered. Chemistries inventory is currently undergoing a major revision and will not be completed for several months.
The inventories are in hard copy stored in the chemical safety and inventory library. Room 374 Lima Life and Physical Sciences Building.
