[labnetwork] Question on managing requests for new materials...

[Ian Harvey]

Dear Labnetwork Cleanroom Facilities Managers,

One of my favorite labnetwork topics is when folks ask about how to manage the wild requests for exotic materials in their facilities.

I wanted to get a sense from trends on Labnetwork and fiddled with it one day. (The 2017 point was YTD in July.  This attached graph is not publishable data because it was both subjective and quite likely incomplete.)

My question is for a quick ("a or b") from cleanroom facilities managers and perhaps also an invitation to chat by phone, so that I can pick your brains, those of you who either: 

a) tap into campus OEHS resources to help manage your Hazmats, HPM-using tool design and installation, and new material requests;

or 

b) use in-house staff with specific HPM training and expertise that you would specifically call a "safety specialist or engineer", with roles dominantly outside normal process or tool engineering.

Thank you,

—Ian
