Introduction to LabCliq by SafetyStratus
LabCliq by SafetyStratus is a modular health and safety platform that helps to create safety plans for supervisors and spaces, recommend safe practices, deploy training modules, and manage chemical inventories. The platform is integrated to single sign-on (SSO) so BU Credentials will be requested when logging in.
Beginning in 2026, our old excel template for chemical inventories will be replaced with this centralized platform.
