Announcement: New Waste and Inventory System!

We are upgrading to a new version of the EHS waste and inventory system.  The last day to submit a waste ticket or do work in the current system is Friday, September 17th.  The system will then be down for a few days for the conversion.  You’ll be able to start working in the new system on Wednesday, September 22nd.  Please watch this instructional video on how to submit a waste ticket in the new system in preparation for the upgrade:
