What is MI Safety Portal?
MI Safety Portal is a data management system that is used to support U-M’s EHS compliance. This comprehensive system will allow users to easily and efficiently manage their EHS compliance by accessing applicable training, inspection, inventory and other records and reports. This system will also provide a centralized view of compliance and safety metrics.
Chemical Inventory
Maintaining chemical inventories via MI Safety Portal assists emergency response during incidents on campus as well as facilitating U-M compliance with the US Department of Homeland Security’s Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS). MI Safety Portal also provides a tool to implement Hazard Communication (HazCom) and Chemical Hygiene Plan (CHP) compliance.
Each director (faculty/lab manager/supervisor) is required to maintain a current inventory of all potentially hazardous chemicals stored, used, or produced within each area that is under their responsibility. Labs are required to use MI Safety Portal, unless their inventory is included in the Chemistry Department or LNF chemical tracking systems.
“Note that EHS can upload batch inventory files into MI Safety Portal if you need to upload an initial inventory, however it may be faster for the inventory to be manually entered by the lab. Please refer to the Adding a Chemical Inventory via MISP and Submitting a Chemical Inventory to EHS videos for more information. If an initial inventory is submitted to EHS, please use the Excel Inventory Load Templates listed below. You can populate your inventory into the spreadsheet, then email it back to us to upload.”
Please note, it is expected that after an initial inventory has been uploaded by EHS into the MISP, it will be maintained by the users. This includes doing regular updates within the MISP, at least annually, if not more often. EHS will not accept an inventory to upload again due to edits that should have been made in the MISP such as additions to the inventory, disposal of chemicals, quantity changes, etc.
Safety Inspections
EHS is using the MI Safety Portal (MISP) as the main resource for academic and research safety inspections. All inspections are conducted through the MISP, with the system generating reports, allowing your lab access to view and close out deficiencies, and more.
- Comprehensive Lab Safety Inspections
- Shop/Studio Safety Inspections
- Biosafety Inspections
- Laser Safety Inspections
- Rad Safety Inspections
- Animal Inspections
- Monthly Lab Safety Self-inspections
- Quarterly Shop/Studio Safety Self-Inspections
Completion of the post inspection follow up tasks are now done directly through MISP as well.
