What are annual chemical inventories?
Chemical inventories are conducted by Environmental Compliance at each site on an annual basis. Inventories are gathered from any location that stores and or uses chemicals such as kitchens, custodial, science, industrial arts, etc. The inventories are are stored in a database that interfaces with the SDS program. This ensures we have current SDS information when there are changes in products used in the District.
Chemical Regulations
There are Federal, State and local reporting requirements for any hazardous materials stored/used at your site. This is a requirement by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) through the Emergency Planning, Community Right-to-Know (EPCRA) and the local fire department.
What products must be included in the inventory?
Environmental Compliance looks for products used throughout a site but excludes household type products. Examples of items included on inventories are cleaning chemicals, science chemicals, disinfectants, or any product containing hazardous ingredients.
The Environmental Compliance Branch is responsible for determining which products to include in the reporting requirements. Inventories can be viewed under locations in the online SDS program.
