EHS SOFTWARE FORUniversities & Research Labs

Protect students, support researchers, and stay compliant—across every lab, lecture hall, field site, and campus facility.

TOP UNIVERSITY & RESEARCH LAB HAZARDS

University labs often work with volatile solvents, corrosive acids, and reactive compounds. Improper labeling, storage, or handling of these chemicals can lead to toxic exposures, burns, or dangerous reactions.

Biological Hazards

Research labs handling infectious agents, human tissue, or genetically modified organisms risk accidental exposure to pathogens. Inadequate biosafety protocols can compromise student and faculty health.

Academic settings using radioactive isotopes or high-powered lasers for imaging or experimentation face exposure risks. Without proper shielding, PPE, and training, even low-level exposure can result in serious injuries.

Combustible chemicals, electrical overloads, and open flame procedures in research labs heighten the risk of lab fires or explosions. Lack of ventilation and improper chemical storage exacerbate the danger.

Hazardous Waste Mismanagement

Improper segregation, labeling, or disposal of lab waste—especially biohazardous or chemical—can lead to environmental contamination, regulatory violations, or accidental exposure for custodial and maintenance staff.

Ergonomic Injuries & Physical Hazards

Long hours at lab benches, repetitive pipetting, and microscope work can lead to strain injuries. Additionally, cluttered workspaces and poorly maintained equipment can cause cuts, burns, or pinches.

Spilled reagents, wet floors near eyewash stations, or power cords running across walkways are common hazards. High foot traffic in labs and hallways increases the risk of injury if not addressed promptly.

Off-Site/Field Research Risks

Fieldwork in remote or uncontrolled environments exposes researchers to wildlife, weather, transportation accidents, and limited access to emergency care. Risk assessments and safety plans are often overlooked for non-lab-based research.

ALL-IN-ONE EHS MANAGEMENTFrom Campuses to Global Research Centers

Protect What Powers Research, Starting at the Top

You are responsible for institutional safety strategy, reputational risk, and enabling compliant research at scale. You want consistent execution across hundreds of labs, defensible compliance for audits and funding, and executive-level insights that tie safety to performance and innovation. You need a unified EHS platform that aligns with strategic goals, elevates risk visibility across departments, and empowers your teams to deliver results.

Translate Institutional Safety Strategy Into Results

You are the operational leader turning university safety strategy into consistent execution—managing inspections, training, and compliance across labs and departments. You want clear oversight, accountability, and tools to enforce standards in high-risk environments. You need an integrated EHS platform that centralizes data, streamlines reporting, and empowers your team to drive campus- and site-wide safety outcomes.

Manage the Details That Keep Labs Safe

You are the boots-on-the-ground EHS lead ensuring lab safety is real, visible, and enforced every day. You conduct inspections, respond to incidents, manage hazardous waste, and train researchers. You want simple tools to track issues, ensure compliance, and keep labs running safely. You need an integrated EHS platform that centralizes records, streamlines reporting, and helps you respond quickly—so safety stays proactive, not reactive.

EHS Software Built for Research & Academia

Whether you're managing chemistry labs, field research, or biomedical facilities, safety and compliance can’t be an afterthought. Serenity helps university EHS teams prevent incidents, protect researchers and students, and stay audit-ready—without slowing down science or instruction.

Control Lab Risks with Confidence
Customize risk assessments by lab function—use 2-factor scoring for low-risk teaching labs or 3-factor models for high-containment research environments.
Enable each college or lab unit (e.g., Chemistry, Biology, Engineering) to define its own risk matrix—no need to standardize across campus.
Choose between manual inputs or reduction factor methods to reflect realistic mitigation strategies for hazards like chemical storage or fieldwork exposures.
Instantly generate recommended safety controls for hazards—like compressed gases or biological agents—during risk assessments, reducing time and human error.
Biohazard and Sharps Exposure Risk Eval
One Calendar. Total Control Over Lab Compliance.
From fume hood certifications to biosafety cabinet checks, automate recurring compliance tasks with reminders and a campus-wide calendar view.
Centralize chemical, radiation, and environmental permits across labs, buildings, and research units—no more chasing paperwork or renewal dates.
Stay on top of evolving regulations like NIH, OSHA, and EPA standards with a university-specific legal register that maps directly to your activities.
Use calendar-based task management to map out waste disposal, training, and audit prep—keeping teams aligned and on time.
