Chemical Safety

Accurate and well-maintained chemical inventories are vital for ensuring chemical safety and adhering to Maximum Allowable Quantity (MAQ) regulations in research settings. These inventories provide a clear understanding of the types and quantities of chemicals present, enabling end user and EHS to identify potential hazards and implement appropriate safety measures. In the context of MAQ analysis, up-to-date inventories are crucial for determining whether the quantities of stored chemicals remain within allowable limits, preventing regulatory violations and minimizing risks such as fire, explosion, or toxic exposure.
