Why Manage Chemical Inventories?
• Safety First ! • Safety Training • Regulatory Compliance & Reporting • Hazmat Resource Management • Capital Project Planning – UFC/UBC design • Reduce overall hazard load and risk• Emergency Response
Where to Start? What to Consider …

Where to Start …
Organizational Factors – regardless of what system is selected
• Establish management commitment • Determine which department/unit will have oversight• Convene working group inclusive of end users • Develop a policy for inventory management• Appoint a local system administrator(s),
e.g. ChemTracker Administrator

Setting Up an Inventory System
Determine …• Regulatory drivers and best management practices• Which fields of data are to be collected • Who will collect or validate the data:
– Centralized team? – Lab personnel?– Student assistants?
• Means of collection: – Spreadsheet by hand?– Laptops or tablet computers?– Barcodes scanners?

Setting Up an Inventory System
• Determine scope of collection: – Whole campus or phased? – All containers or some quantity threshold and above? – Hazwaste items, radioactive materials?
• Determine frequency of inventory data updates
• Access other existing databases: – HR - faculty and staff lists– Facilities, space, buildings list

Setting Up an Inventory System
• Populate the database: whole campus or phased?
• Assignment of Roles: access and permissions
• Identify departments/units for initial implementation
• Train users
• Assess progress

The ChemTracker Consortium Vision• Universities, colleges, and not-for-profit organizations
joining together to develop a chemical inventory management solution for academia.
• Goals:
– Develop a community to address compliance and safety issues
– Work with other groups and agencies to ensure regulatory requirements are appropriate for academia, e.g. CERS-BUG
• Benefits:
– Use of ChemTracker and access to user community
– Support, training, and shared experiences
– A forum to share EH&S compliance issues and best practices

Why Was It Developed? Stanford is a small city …
Why Was It Developed… • Campus with large infrastructure
• Instructional and research facilities
• 665 major buildings: 264 buildings with chemicals in
2,615 rooms
• Typical wide variety: 15,010 different chemicals,
250,089 separate containers.

What is the ChemTracker System?A web-based relational database application to record, track,
and report hazardous chemical inventories
© Stanford University ChemTrackerSM is a registered Service Mark of the Board of Trustees of Leland Stanford Junior University 22
Design Concepts
• Database (Oracle) application, supported and maintained by Stanford
• Web-based, hosted solution: minimal local IT resources required
• CT staff provides technical customer support, data backup and recovery, system upgrades, etc.
• Seamless upgrades, no workstation installations are needed.
ChemTracker Key Features
• Reference Database – linked to classification
• Inventory
• Regulatory Reports – RTK reports– Life Safety Boxes– UBC/UFC– CFATS screening
© Stanford University ChemTrackerSM is a registered Service Mark of the Board of Trustees of Leland Stanford Junior University 23
© Stanford University ChemTrackerSM is a registered Service Mark of the Board of Trustees of Leland Stanford Junior University 24
Reference Database: 34,333 classified materials, 99,664 synonyms
© Stanford University ChemTrackerSM is a registered Service Mark of the Board of Trustees of Leland Stanford Junior University 25
Sums aggregate quantities by chemical owner, rooms, control areas, buildings, and across entire campus
© Stanford University ChemTrackerSM is a registered Service Mark of the Board of Trustees of Leland Stanford Junior University 26
Generates many common regulatory reports:
HMIS/HMMP, NYC-RTK, CFATS screen, UBC/UFC, HazCom, etc.

Business Benefits of Consortium-Wide Approach
• Writing code for ChemTracker that avoids customization has many benefits– All members have access to all functionality – Members can mutually benefit from practices and models that
become part of ChemTracker– Single product code base enables better support, faster bug fixes,
and faster installation of product upgrades– Having one ChemTracker aids faster product cycles
• A modular implementation approach– Faster release of individual components than entire software
package
