Registered User Application

Registered Users (RU) are principal investigators and supervisors, who have primary responsibility for locations where hazardous materials are used. At MU all hazardous materials must be procured, stored, and used under the authority of an RU.

Registered Users are required to maintain their hazardous materials area(s) in conformance with the policies and procedures of the MU Hazardous Materials Program. Prior to completing the application, please review the Hazardous Materials Management Manual(PDF) in order to familiarize yourself with the program requirements and the role of the Registered User in the program.

All full-time MU faculty and staff are eligible to apply. In addition, MU employees working part-time (less than 75% FTE), former MU employees with emeritus status, and non-MU employees with dual appointments in an MU department are also eligible to apply. Full-time students (undergraduate and graduate) are not eligible to apply and should work under the supervision of an RU.
