November 3, 2015, Volume 62, No. 12 |
Environmental Health and Radiation Safety (EHRS) and the Office of Animal Welfare (OAW) are hosting an event this month to encourage registrants to properly dispose of outdated and unwanted controlled substances. This event is open to all University employees who are current DEA registrants. The Office of the Vice Provost for Research is covering the disposal costs.
The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has recently published new regulations pertaining to the use and disposal of controlled substances. EHRS and OAW will be onsite to answer questions and provide information about these new regulations.
Instructions to participate in the event:
1. A drug inventory form must be completed electronically and submitted to EHRS. Forms must be forwarded electronically to Jim Crumley and received by November 13, 2015 if you wish to participate.*
2. On November 20, 2015, bring the items to PSOM Stellar-Chance, room 104, from 9 a.m.-2 p.m. DEA regulations require that two employees of the registrant escort the materials to the event and those two people must sign over the controlled substances to Penn’s licensed reverse distributor. The materials will be sent offsite for incineration at the conclusion of the event.
3. Copies of the transfer documents will be provided as documentation. These must be maintained in your file for a minimum of two years.
* This event is limited to current DEA registrants who wish to dispose of outdated or unwanted controlled substances. If you have any questions please contact: Jennifer Davis, OAW, (215) 573-0790, jennifd@upenn.edu or Jim Crumley, EHRS, (215) 746-5036, jcrumley@ehrs.upenn.edu
