Combined Laboratory Inspection Program (CLIP)
Lab Safety Program (updated July 3, 2012)
CLIP Feedback form We welcome feedback!
To provide support to the University research community, the Environmental Health and Safety Office (EHSO) has undertaken a team project to combine lab inspections regarding aspects of chemical, biological, radiological, fire protection and life safety. A combined laboratory CLIP Self-Inspection Checklist (pdf) has been developed within EHSO. The links of the right are provided to assist laboratory staff to accesss information in Part B of the Controlled Product Standard. The following links may also be useful. Questions may be directed to anyone on the CLIP working group:
