Getting Things Done

Sharps and biohazard removal is performed by DUCOM
Sharps containers are available FREE from Safety and Health (i.e. Jonathan Chase)

Hoods need to be calibrated regularly (yearly)
DUCOM previously did this via indirect costs...
Individual researchers NOW must do it themselves.
