Environmental Health & Safety has launched the new EHS Assistant (EHSA) system. To ensure ease of adoption and understanding, it is rolling out in phases. During each phase, EH&S will contact and arrange an orientation followed by access to the system. Access to the system will not be granted until orientation is complete. For questions, contact EH&S at EHSASupport@uab.edu

Note: Utilizing templates is a practical technique to stop repeating the same actions. You should use this option if you consistently produce the same hazardous/chemical waste manifest for pickup. Call us at 205.934.3797 if, after 28 days, the chemical waste from your lab still needs to be removed.

Creating a Template

  1. From the home screen. Click the “Waste Pickup Request”
  2. Click “Add a Waste Request”
  3. Add the appropriate chemicals to the container(s). (Utilizing the steps learned from creating a Chemical Waste Request Pickup).
  4. Before you save the record, click on “Template Options” (upper right of the container information above the location of the waste header).
  5. Name your waste stream and select "Update". Make sure the name you use is descriptive enough to identify later. If you click on “Apply Template”, you will see all of the templates you have created.

  6. Click “Yes” if you are the PI. This will allow other workers in your lab to use it and have
    the right to submit manifests. Click “No”, if it is a personal template.
  7. Click “Save and Submit” if you are submitting a request. If not then click “Save” and
    continue to create more waste requests.
