Chemical Inventory

The University of Regina uses a web-based chemical inventory program (Vertere) to track chemicals.

Information on the use of the program can be found in How to use the Inventory Program (980 KB) . 

Program Access

Access to the inventory program is provided by Health and Safety to faculty, staff and other authorized users. To obtain a username and password, please contact Health and Safety.
