What is happening:
Weill Cornell Medicine is required to submit Annual Chemical Inventory Reporting of all hazardous chemicals on campus, in order to comply with the NYC Department of Environmental Protection, NYC Fire Department, and US Environmental Protection Agency Community-Right-to-Know requirements, as well as US Department of Homeland Security Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism regulations.
Supervisors of all locations storing and/or using hazardous chemicals must maintain a chemical inventory in Salute.
What you need to do:
Review and update your chemical inventory in Salute by January 9, 2023. To update your Chemical Inventory:
- Sign in to Salute using your WCM email, and then your CWID and password.
- Select Chemical Safety from the menu on the left-hand side of the page.
- Choose the inventory to view based on the Chemical Owner.
- Make any changes needed to your inventory. Please visit the EHS website for step-by-step instructions. Please note: some line items in the inventory may appear with a chemical name of “N/A.” These are legacy entries from the migration of ChemTracker data into the new Salute inventory system. Please do not delete these items from your inventory. EHS is working with Salute to reconcile these data entries.
- When you are finished,use theStatus drop-down menu to change the Inventory Status to Complete.
For further guidance on utilizing Salute for chemical inventory management, please view a short self-paced training video on the EHS website (login required).
