Chemical procurements in compliance with relevant regulations facilitates the learning and research of our students and staff.
The Chemical Management System (CMS), a central database and procurement system, is adopted to manage the purchases, storage, handling, and disposal of hazardous chemicals and controlled substances in PolyU.
The Finance Office reserves the right not to proceed the payment of invoices for any unauthorized order of chemicals. And unauthorized procurement will be flagged as a non-compliance item in the Health and Safety Inspection Exercise conducted by the HSO.
The HSO pledges to provide, as far as reasonably practicable, this service within:
- five working days to vet and place the order to the supplier (up to 10 items per order).
- two working days to dispatch the chemicals to users upon supplier delivery.
