Maintain Controlled Substance Records

Authorized Personnel Screening Statement

List each person (e.g., PI, lab personnel) allowed to handle controlled substances for research use as an authorized agent or authorized personnel. 

Include a date range for the authorization.

Record controlled substances at a new storage location (including transfers and changes of address) immediately upon receipt of a DEA registration.

• May use the General Inventory Log, but clearly label it “Initial Inventory”.
• If you have yet to store controlled substances at that location indicate, “Zero inventory – no controlled substances at present location.”

Perform every two (2) years after initial inventory.  Keep the completed biennial inventory with the controlled substance records.

Summarize the usage of a controlled substance from the time of acquisition to the end of use (e.g., administration and/or disposal), including recording expired or damaged controlled substances.

Also called a “perpetual inventory,” this log is likely used in conjunction with other usage records that fully detail the use of the controlled substance (e.g., multiple dose log, dilution log).

Submit inventory of all expired, unwanted, or damaged controlled substances to be picked up by U-M Environment, Health & Safety (EHS) Hazardous Materials Management program as part of the reverse distribution process. 

Note:  See the Disposal procedure for more information.

List the controlled substances stored at a registered location upon the closing of that location.
