All laboratories and areas where biological materials are used or stored must have a biological materials inventory on file with Environmental Health and Safety. Biological inventories must include all biological materials used or stored and must be updated at least annually. Documented training on storage and security must be maintained as part of storage and inventory requirements. Security procedures must address the controlled access to biological inventories (authorized and designated employees only).
Additionally, each workspace must maintain an inventory of hazardous chemicals in storage and update it annually.
All personnel who work with chemical, biological, physical hazards, or animal work must complete a Hazard Inventory. Refer to the Occupational Medicine Guidelines (PDF) for details on employee participation.
