The University of New Hampshire initially developed UNHCEMS® in 2001 to satisfy the requirements of an EPA Supplemental Environmental Project. Created to track chemical containers coming into the University and waste leaving the site, technology used as the platform for UNHCEMS® has evolved to a more robust and comprehensive information management system, now allowing users to track laboratory assets, inspections, and other EHS programs. During this presentation we will describe the genesis of the UNHCEMS® program from initial conception to what it has become today. We will provide lessons learned, both from an EHS perspective as well as the technology side.

How UNHCEMS® has evolved from a chemical inventory tracking system to an environmental management tool
