EMERGENCY CONTACT AND ACCESS DATA FOR LABORATORIES Accurate and up-to-date data is invaluable in terms of securing YOUR interests by ensuring the right people can be contacted in the event of an emergency. Out-of-date information will mislead emergency responders and delay or even prevent appropriate personnel being contacted and possibly saving your valuable research materials. Chematix is the central database for work-day and after-hour emergency contact information for laboratories. This data is held confidentially and available to EH&S and Security staff. A Chematix record is initiated by EH&S personnel for each laboratory and must identify a PI and a supervisor at the time of creation. The PI can have both roles. Either can subsequently add lab users, although it should be noted that one can only make changes below one’s own permission level. For example: A PI can assign a supervisor or lab user(s), but cannot grant the lab to another PI A supervisor can assign lab users but cannot change his own role Lab users cannot add, remove or change any users at all There are 4 types of essential contact data: laboratory daytime phone #, after-hours contact(s),lab users (or authorized personnel) and equipment labels for equipment outside the laboratory. The latter is outside the Chematix system. This presentation will show you how to enter data into each in turn. A quick text summary can be found on page 9. Getting Started:  Log in to your ‘My U of C’ page  Select the “Around Campus” tab and then click on “Chematix” 1 FACULTY OF MEDICINE MARCH 14, 2014
