UT HERD (Hazard Evaluation and Risk Database) is a new electronic information management database used to streamline the laboratory safety process and provide better service to researchers and laboratory personnel. Current features include lab and worker registration, training, lab inspections, and RAM and chemical inventory management. With UT HERD, Principal Investigators (PIs) can enter and track important safety information for their laboratory.
- Lab Registration - for requesting the addition and removal of lab spaces
- Worker Registration - for requesting the addition or removal of lab personnel
- Training Records - for reviewing safety training records for lab personnel
- Safety Inspections - for reviewing inspection information and responding to lab deficiencies
- Inventory - for entering, reviewing, and updating RAM and chemical inventories
