Assessment and Inspection Management System

Use AIMS to manage lab safety inspections.

AIMS notifies designated lab staff about inspection reports and corrective actions. You can also review inspection results in AIMS.

AIMS area managers can:

• Update inspection reports as changes happen.
• Manage and close corrective actions.
• Track your status to quickly address corrective actions.

Log in to AIMS to download a general lab safety inspection checklist.

Lab Safety Officers (LSO) and lab representatives use AIMS to conduct PPE self-assessments.

These assessments identify PPE requirements for:

• Whole lab group activities.
• Activities in specific rooms or other parts of lab operations.
• Specific lab processes.
• Additional PPE requirements for schools, departments, and labs.

Principal Investigators (PI) and core facility managers can either:

• Approve assessments in AIMS.
• Print and sign assessments after their designated LSO completes them in AIMS.

PIs, core facility managers, or designees must review and update lab PPE assessments at least once a year or whenever there are significant changes to processes or materials.
