How often should an inventory be conducted?
Chemical inventories should be conducted on at least a yearly basis. Personnel should be looking at the physical condition of primary and secondary containers. Chemicals should be inspected for signs of decomposition, such as discoloration, turbidity, caking, moisture in dry chemicals, particulates in liquids, and pressure buildup.

However, as new chemicals are received, the inventory in ChemTracker should be updated to include them.
