Labortory and Shop Move Manual

Planning and preparing for your move is the perfect time to update your chemical and equipment inventories, clean out unusable and outdated materials, repair or discard broken equipment, and ensure that a safe work space is created in your new location. The time you spend preparing and organizing may save you time and money by avoiding preventable accidents and fines.

If you have questions before, during, or after your move, call EH&S at 642-3073. You can also ask for an EH&S contact to work with you during the move process.
