As there is a huge variety of hazardous materials and chemicals that research equipment can be exposed to, it must be properly decontaminated before being picked up and disposed of, or repaired or relocated by the SoE technical staff. The Lab Equipment Clearance Form provides guidelines for the appropriate decontamination needed based on what the research equipment has been exposed to.
Equipment Disposal by Facilities
Once the equipment is properly decontaminated, a Facilities work order through their Archibus portal must be submitted for the pick-up after creating an account, using your CWL information to login, and attaching the filled out Lab Equipment Clearance Form. A paper copy of the filled form should also be keep in your research group’s Laboratory Safety Guidebook.
Equipment Repair or Relocation by the SoE Technical Team
Once the equipment is properly decontaminated, a request must be made through the Technical Support Group Ticket System, attaching the filled Lab Equipment Clearance Form. A paper copy of the filled form should also be keep in your research group’s Laboratory Safety Guidebook.
Technical staff and Facilities personnel have the right to refuse pickup, repair or relocation if they are not satisfied with the state of the equipment.
