This page is in development. Please check back again in a few weeks for more information on this topic. If there is information you are interested in having added to this area, please contact our office @ 723-0110. We are always open to suggestion and are interested in meeting your needs!
- Facility
Maintenance - Office
of Facilities, Planning and Management (OFPM) provides
Security Services, Housekeeping, Building Maintenance, and Mail & Messenger
Service for School of Medicine occupants.
- Fumehoods - See information on the EHS website for engineering controls, selection, maintenance, and proper use of fumehoods.
- Coldrooms - See the following links to the EHS website for Cold Room Work Practices, mold prevention and mold remediation.
- Flammable Liquid or Chemical Storage Cabinets - See information in the Stanford Design Guide for flammable liquid storage cabinet requirements.
- Beware Low-Cost Flammable Liquid Storage Cabinets!
- Film Processors - See the requirements for new film processor installations.
- Seismic Restraints for Laboratory Equipment - Why risk the loss of even small pieces of lab equipment?
- Lab Design and New Renovation Projects
- Laboratory
design guidelines are available as a resource guide for use
during the planning and early design phase.
- Construction expectations - Maintenance, Renovation and Construction Safety related information is available on the EHS site.
- Scope of Project - PI, research, use of chemicals, radioactivity, biohazards, special equipment or facility needed.
- Plans Review Process - Obtain projected chemical inventory EARLY in the design phase.
- Lab decomissioning and laboratory moves
- Lab Deactivation occurs
when lab space is vacated. This can be prior to a renovation, if a PI
leaves Stanford, or a lab is being transfered to a new PI or department.
The process involves the removal of all chemicals, both waste and unused
product, biological, and/or radiological materials and associated hazards
from a laboratory with the decontamination of working surfaces, including
bench, cabinet, and fume hood surfaces, and other areas potentially contaminated
with hazardous materials.
- Lab Activation
and setting up a new lab - Contact our office prior to starting up
a new lab for guidance with reporting chemical inventories,
staff training or equipment purchases.
- New PI Briefings
- Contact our office to arrange for a representative to attend a lab meeting with your research staff.
- Property Disposal - Check with your Department Property Administrator (DPA) to arrange proper disposal of equipment through the Sunflower system on campus.
- Information on decontamination of equipment and Research Equipment Disposal and Release to Surplus
