HAZARDOUS CHEMICALS

The Mercer University community is composed of various "mini-industries", such as:  Physical Plant (industrial), Food Service & Residence Halls (commercial), and scientific research & academic laboratories (R&D and education).  Therefore, the Mercer University community is subject to a wide
range of government regulatory standards and laws concerning the storage, use,
and disposal of hazardous chemical substances. 

The Hazardous Chemicals page of the Health & Safety Office website will provide links to sites that provide information and assistance concerning proper methods and procedures for the storage, use, disposal, and recycling opportunities for hazardous chemical substances.

Contact the Health and Safety Office for additional information concerning hazardous chemicals.
