Frequently Asked Questions

• What is the Safety Management System?

  Environmental Health & Safety has launched a new comprehensive Safety Management System (SMS).  The SMS is a software database solution from Salute Safety that is designed to manage risk, ensure safety and compliance, and improve efficiency.

  The SMS will be used for a wide range of safety and compliance activities, including safety training, laboratory and research safety, hazardous materials management, worker safety programs, fire safety and emergency response.

  The SMS will include modules for safety training (Learning Management System), laboratory registration, chemical inventories, hazard assessments, inspections, equipment inventory and other compliance and permit activities.

  An initial focus of the SMS will be a new safety training Learning Management System (LMS). The LMS will deliver, record and track training and will be intergrated with other modules, such as Laboratory Registration, that will identify training requirements based on hazards and training needs assessments. 

  Later this semester, a new Laboratory Registration module will be launched. The laboratory registration will identify lab spaces, personnel, lab hazards, training requirements and emergency contacts. The program will also produce door signage with hazard information.

• What can I use SMS for?

  You can use the SMS to view the safety training that you have completed.  You can also link to the Learning Management System (LMS) to view available safety training courses (on-line or in person), enroll in courses, or check on the progress of training that you have started.  When courses are completed, you can view and print a Certificate of Completion for your records.

  See the How To Guide for more information.

  Later this fall you will be able to use the SMS to register your laboratory space. This is essential to identify, assess, and manage lab hazards.  It is also required to ensure compliance with federal and state regulations and mandates.  

  Early next year you will be able to use the SMS to complete and maintain your chemical inventories. Chemical inventories are required for laboratories, shops and other areas where hazardous chemical materials are used and stored. 

  As more modules within SMS become available, we will update the website accordingly.
