INSPECT is a laboratory safety inspection tool to document safety issues and to ensure compliance with safety regulations. EHS is doing inspections using custom checklists in the app, however they are available for faculty and staff to use on their own labs and activity spaces. 

RSS INSPECT is available both as a mobile app for phones and tablets and in a desktop version.

The RP (group Responsible Person) must correct most findings within 30 days of inspection acknowledgement. It is understood that some findings may take longer to resolve, so communicate such issues to EHS and your department.
