Chemical safety encompasses the use, production, transport, handling, and disposal of chemicals in a way that protects people, property, and the environment from harm. This includes the use of purchased chemicals and chemicals synthesized on Wayne State University's campus. 

The WSU OEHS Chemical Safety program is dedicated to minimizing hazards associated with working with chemicals in research and teaching facilities across campus as well as ensuring compliance to federal, state, local, and university regulations, policies, and procedures. As such OEHS has developed educational materials, inspection programs, and oversight committees to help personnel design and implement chemical safety and health practices and procedures. Below are links to chemical safety information to guide WSU personnel on the safe use, transport, storage, and disposal of chemicals and equipment used with chemicals.
