Assessment and Inspection Management System

Use AIMS to manage lab safety inspections.

AIMS notifies designated lab staff about inspection reports and corrective actions. You can also review inspection results in AIMS.

AIMS area managers can:

• Manage and close corrective actions.
• Update reports as changes happen.
• Track statuses to quickly address corrective actions.

LSOs and lab representatives use AIMS to conduct PPE self-assessments.

These assessments identify PPE requirements for:

• Whole lab group activities.
• Activities in specific rooms or other parts of lab operations.
• Specific lab processes.
• Additional PPE requirements for labs, departments, and schools.

PIs and core facility managers can either use AIMS to approve assessments or print and sign assessments after their designated LSO completes them in AIMS.

PIs, core facility managers, or designees must review and update lab PPE assessments at least once a year or whenever there are significant changes to processes or materials.
