EHSO will start conducting annual lab validations beginning in June 2013. EHSO will inspect at least one lab for each PI. After the inspection, labs will receive a report with any findings within 48 hours. Building liaisons will follow up with each lab 2 weeks after the validation to ensure that all items found during the inspection have been corrected.

After all inspections have been completed on campus, EHSO will send score cards to department chairs and individuals PIs to show how well they performed on all three inspections: lab self-inspection, EHSO validation, and EHSO follow-up inspection.

Reminder: In order to guarantee that your lab is prepared for the upcoming validations, please verify that you’ve completed your 2013self-inspection form and submitted your corrective action plan form(CAP) to linspec@emory.edu.
