  • 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. more
  • 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.
