Current regulations and standards require that inventories of hazardous materials (see policy here) be established and maintained. The Hazardous Materials and Waste Tracking software, Llumin, automates the entire process of managing hazardous materials from cradle to grave. This is a quick and easy way to track chemicals and other hazardous materials in your laboratory and maintain current Safety Data Sheets (SDS). Hazardous waste pickup must be requested through the Waste Request process in Llumin. Waste items must be stored and labelled appropriately for pickup, refer to the Hazardous Waste Disposal Protocol for more information.

For additional information see the "Quick Start Guide" posted below. Contact the HR Officer - Safety at labsafety@lakeheadu.ca or (807) 343-8010 ext. 8806 for questions, training or to set up a user account.
