Although this will not affect most of you, please be advised that effective immediately, prior to ordering any chemical(s) your department may need, you must first contact me (x9782) to obtain approval to order the chemical(s) in question. The necessity of this stems from our attempts to further ensure compliance with EPA regulations as to chemical storage and use on campus.

Please also note that upon approval of an order request for chemicals, that you should be reminding vendors to supply you with MSDS (material safety data sheets) that should arrive with your order. A copy of the MSDS should be kept in your files, but the original should be sent to Roger Demareski, Compliance Office, Bayley Hall.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation in this matter. Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact me in Procurement.

Martin Koeller

Director of Procurement
