HAZARDOUS GASES
All purchases: Email a copy of the quote, the HAZARDOUS GAS AUTHORIZATION FORM, and the shortcode to sspapproval@umich.edu and wait for approval prior to purchase.

Hazardous Gases Program: In order to provide a safe U-M research environment, EHS has instituted a program with U-M Procurement Services which requires approval for specific hazardous gas purchases. Approval must be obtained to purchase the following gases in cylinders larger than a lecture bottle: carbon monoxide, chlorine, fluorine, hydrides (arsine, disilane, diborane, germane, phosphine, and silane), hydrogen, and toxic (NFPA health rating of 3 or 4). Oxygen over 25% also requires approval. Beyond this approval process, all hazardous gases must be used in compliance with NFPA 45 and NFPA 55. Under no circumstance should a researcher purchase more than a 1 year supply of any gas.

Contact EHS for additional information.

Buyers should familiarize themselves with instructions on how to order these gases and program details to purchase.

Orders can be placed over the phone at (734) 668-9859 using your shortcode.
