Preparing for Lab Moves & Close-Outs

EHSO guidelines for lab decommissioning: http://www.ehso.emory.edu/content-guidelines/LabDecommissioningGuidelines.pdf

Proper Laboratory Decommissioning:

  • ensures that the vacated space is in a stable and known condition, safe for individuals unfamiliar with the laboratory to enter.
  • reduces disposal costs associated with unwanted and unknown hazardous materials, and
  • encourages sustainability through redistribution of unwanted, useable laboratory equipment and supplies.

Ultimate responsibility for preparing a laboratory to be safe and compliant lies with departmental management.
