Procedures for Laboratory Moves, Decommissioning and Commissioning
Moving a lab is a very different process than moving from a home, apartment or even an office.

Special consideration needs to be given to safely relocating chemicals, biological materials, radioactive materials, and specialized equipment. This app will help users follow procedures while moving a laboratory, and can ensure that the move is being done safely and that the lab space is left in optimal conditions. The app will outline the role of the principal investigator and environmental health and safety teams so that they can work together with a lab manager for a seamless move.
Adhering to proper procedures will ensure the move is conducted safely. Hazardous waste disposal measures should be taken for unwanted and unused hazardous materials. Refrigerators, freezers, and other storage cabinets should be properly prepared for the move. Compressed gas should be moved to a location where empty containers are stored to be moved by the vendor, and chemical inventory should be evaluated to determine what needs to be disposed of, and what can be relocated. Similar procedures are included in the app for radioactive materials, laboratories with lasers, biological/infectious labs, and others.
Decommissioning of a lab also includes cleaning work surfaces, storage cabinets and generally leaving the lab space in clean condition.

“I’m not a tech guy and I was able to pick this thing up in probably an hour, and actually start to build apps. I’ve done them over lunch when I’ve gotten frustrated with a process that didn’t exist in our company. So for non tech people who’ve got a problem, the support here is awesome and I’d recommend it to anybody, not just in our industry.”
