Chemical Receiving Process

3.  Receiving your chemicals

A:  Chemical packages that are received and processed by the CCRF

Most hazardous chemical packages received at the Lab are processed at the Lab’s Central Chemical Receiving Facility (CCRF).  CCRF staff verify and enter container information in CMS, apply RFID tags, and add a green (fully processed, no further actions needed) or rectangle orange sticker (with instructions for further actions needed by the end user) to the package.

B:  Chemical packages that are not processed by the CCRF

If your hazardous chemical package does not have an orange or green sticker, it means it was not processed by the CCRF.  You, as the end user of the chemical, are responsible for ensuring the chemical is RFID tagged and “received” in CMS.
