Computer database being developed at Temple will allow for better inventory of chemicals

hecked at different intervals, says Rappaport. With the database, youre able to see at a glance right from your computer what safety equipment is due for inspection or is out of compliance without having to go walking through buildings or rummaging through file cabinets.

Rappaport also expects the database to assist the Universitys environmental health and safety official in generating mandatory reports for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

The University must file a report with EPA on over 450 chemicals and the report must be in pounds and by building where these chemicals are used or stored, says Rappaport. To dissect this information out manually takes an enormous amount of time and manpower.

This inventories database can compile the information automatically, he adds. It hopefully will make life a lot easier for the environmental health and safety people this year.

We still have a lot of work to do, concludes Rappaport. The prototype we have needs to be converted to a Web-based application to enable multiple users and at the same time, provide a high level of security.
