A brief description of the program:

The Environmental Health & Safety Information Systems Support team works closely with each unit in EHS to improve efficiency, streamline recordkeeping, and deploy innovative electronic solutions to help comply with local, state and federal regulatory requirements. One such solution, Chematix (pronounced ke-ma-tiks), is utilized in a variety of areas including laboratory chemical inventory management, inspection recordkeeping, and hazardous waste management. Information Systems Support provides on-site classroom training as well as personalized technical support for our clients. Our office, with its portfolio of experience, looks forward to providing expertise and guidance to the UGA research community as they navigate the systems and regulations that affect their daily work activities.
