The University's SciShield system acts as a central management hub for all lab compliance requirements. Principal Investigators are required to maintain the accuracy of their personnel through this system and ensure training and other compliance requirements are met.
The Department of Environmental Safety, Sustainability & Risk (ESSR) occasionally conducts lab inspections, which are managed through the SciShield portal. Principal Investigators should address any inspection findings in a timely manner. If you would like ECE's compliance officer to attend the inspection and assist with resolving findings, please reach out to Dmitry Akmal (dakmal@umd.edu) upon receiving advance notice of your upcoming inspection.
