In order to create a waste record, you must first have a valid waste request profile. You will need to edit your waste profile to include additional PIs if you don't see them in the drop-down (after clicked "Edit" next to "PI" in the top part of the waste request screen.

  1. On the EHSA Home Screen: Click on the far left icon (Waste)
  2. On the next screen: Click on “Add a Waste Request”. If you don’t have a valid profile, a pop-up will indicate “Missing Waste Request Profile”.
  3. Click on “Yes”
  4. The top part of the profile should auto-populate. If it does not, enter: User ID, Name, Phone Number and e-mail address.
  5. Under “Waste Request Information” click on Add.
  6. Select the appropriate PI from the drop down. You will likely only have one choice.
  7. Select the appropriate Department, Building, and Lab Number. Your choices will be restricted based on your PI selection. For those PIs who occupy multiple buildings and/or labs: select those you use most often and click “Yes” under default. For any PI, you will be able to change locations, if necessary, on the “Add a waste request” screen.
  8. Click on “Save”
  9. If you have another PI you work for, you can add them now, or at a later time using “Edit profile” on the waste request screen.
  10. Scroll down – all the way to the bottom – and click “Save” again. This will take you back to the waste request screen with a valid profile.
