Temple University employees who use chemicals or chemical containing products at TU and/or TUHS owned or leased facilities must maintain chemical inventories in ChemInventory, the University's campus-wide chemical tracking system.
CEMS is no longer used by Temple University. All chemical inventory management must be done in the new ChemInventory system.
Access to ChemInventory is given after at least one person in each lab/chemical storage area attends a training class via Zoom. Here is our upcoming schedule (click on a date to register for that training):
