Chemical Management at SOM

Hazardous chemicals are managed by the UMKC Environmental Health and Safety Office (EHS). EHS maintains the University bar-coding system to inventory and track hazardous materials at UMKC. EHS works with every lab and conducts audits of each lab. In addition, EHS provides emergency response efforts for chemical spills.
Dr. Xiangping Chu is the School of Medicine representative for UMKC Chemical Safety Committee.

SOM researchers should contact the Office of Research Administration at somresearch@umkc.edu or (816)235-6247 when new chemicals are received, hazardous chemicals need to be removed, or assistance with the new inventory system and management of chemical inventories in labs. Research Administration will contact Suban Burale in the SOM Biomedical Sciences Dept. as Suban is the point of contact as of Sept. 1, 2017, for all chemical management in the SOM.
