This webpage is a gateway to online EH&S services as they apply to Principal Investigators. Here you will find information for you and your employees, forms you may need for research grant proposals, and instructions for adding new equipment or relocating your laboratory. For more information about day-to-day laboratory operations, please see Information for Laboratory Staff.


Chemical Management

These links provide an overview of chemical management requirements at the UW and help new Investigators start chemical inventories, register for waste collection services, and comply with fire codes. For more information about new laboratories, also see the Laboratory Safety Design Guide.


Emergency Preparedness

Emergencies happen. Be ready for them in the laboratory and, if you teach, in the classroom.


Radioactive Substances

These links help new Investigators get started or current Investigators order more material or add radiation workers.


Relocating or closing your laboratory

If you are moving or retiring, use the following checklist and guidelines to make sure you cover all requirements.

As you develop your proposal, check the following links to see if any of these pre-approvals or requirements apply.


Supervising

As a supervisor, by law you have responsibilities related to the health and safety of your employees, including training, hazard prevention, and accident reporting. Please see the EH&S Resource Guide and the links below for more information.
