SOPs play an important part in a well-developed chemical hygiene plan. While SOPs occupy a vital role in maintaining a safe lab environment, process of creating them and making them accessible can be cumbersome. A typical process involves filling out a formatted word document and appending it to a larger lab safety plan, acquiring a written acknowledgement. This creates a static document that requires regularly updated hard copies.

The EHS Assessment module allows digital SOPs to be added to existing digital forms. This saves time and improves compliance at the institutional level. SOPs Acknowledgements can be tracked for all workers associated with a lab space. Users can acknowledge changes easily by adding a digital signature linked to single sign on (SSO). Administrators can also issue alerts for delinquencies and upcoming deadlines through the EHSA’s email burst function, and monitor compliance via the system’s reporting functions.
