Dal PhDer Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 A lab I use to work in got audited (after I left) ... I felt so much stress and I wasn't even there and/or involved! Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usmivka Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Well, better an internal audit than massive fines from the feds, the penalization level is high enough to effectively shutter departments at smaller schools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eigen Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 We had to go through this with the EPA a few years back. It was bad, but everything ended up coming out OK. Good luck! And clean stuff up fast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VBD Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 We had to do this (even though most of the mess was not our doing =_=), and it was terrifying at the time, but we knew it needed to be done. Plus you find INSANE stuff cleaning up, especially if the PI's been around for a long time. My lab tech turned the whole situation into a "fun adventure" so us students could feel a little less stress. (Though we all felt the stress when at the next lab meeting we found out the cost of the removal of some items). Maybe you could do the same? Good luck to your lab and department!!
