Description

National legislation and facility-specific guidelines specify how to handle hazardous substances in commercial environments. Among other things, this includes appropriate storage and registers. The latter have to be maintained and revised at regular intervals. Scientific facilities with experimental processes, however, have a special framework that has to be considered. Dynamic experimental operation makes it hard to meet all relevant legal regulations at all times. Internal processes have to be adjusted, software solutions customized and vast organizational efforts accepted. Nevertheless, an element of uncertainty remains. This talk will offer the basis for an open discussion on whether or not it is even possible to meet all requirements and whether this really results in a safety issue.
