CHEMICAL INVENTORIES
There are two chemical inventory requirements - the annual chemical inventory and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) inventory of "chemicals of interest".
DHS "Chemicals of Interest"
DHS has issued Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS) for all facilities that manufacture, use, store, or distribute certain chemicals on the chemicals of interest list that includes chemicals that present one or more security issues. In order to comply with the regulatory requirements, each OU PI is responsible for reviewing the chemicals of interest list and reporting the possession of any of the chemicals on the list through an on-line chemical inventory. Even though you may not possess any of the chemicals on the list, as a PI you are still responsible for completing the inventory. This inventory should be updated whenever there is a change in the PI's inventory and reviewed at least annually for accuracy. The OU DHS on-line chemical inventory is found at https://apps.ouhsc.edu/DHSIC.
Annual Chemical Inventory
