Research Lab Chemical Inventory

The Chemistry Department, in conjunction with Environmental Health & Safety, maintains a chemical inventory database. The program used is EHS Assistant and is available for access for both on-campus and remote usage.

The EHSA login link can be accessed from on-campus computers directly. For remote work (or using a personal laptop on campus) please use VPN remote access to reach the PSU secure network. 

Please refer to the google doc instructions for the EHSA program for login assistance and information on how to use the program. 

Email Ashley Wase (jawase@pdx.edu) for more assistance with the EHSA program or questions about the inventory process.

Package receipt and processing instructions

For your convenience, all shipments to research labs will be delivered to the Chemistry Stockroom at the address listed below. This also helps keep chemical packages out of departmental offices. During limited campus activity(re: COVID), the stockroom will make daily trips to the mailroom to receive packages. In regular operations, all packages will be delivered to the stockroom by the shipping vendors.  

  • Packages are signed for by the stockroom staff.
  • They are dated stamped and checked for accuracy against the packing slip.
  • Chemicals are entered into your lab’s individual inventory.
  • Chemical Hazard Assessment (CHA) completion is verified with the same CHA verification process as items purchased from the stockroom.
  • Your lab will receive an email telling you when there is a package for you to pick up.
