  1. Chemical Hygiene Plan

  2. IF YOU WORK IN a place where “laboratory use of hazardous chemicals” is happening, State and Federal regulations (i.e. IN and USA rules) say that there must be a written CHEMICAL HYGIENE PLAN that addresses the hazards in your specific work area.

  3. The regulation is called “THE LABORATORY STANDARD” The Lab Standard is basically a 12 page long regulation telling the “employer” (your lab) how it has to write this 50 -100 page long document (the CHP) of rules/policies/procedures that, IF USED PROPERLY will help (a lot actually) to make a much safer lab/workplace.

  4. Lab Standard is at • http://www.osha.gov/pls/oshaweb/owadisp.show_document?p_table=STANDARDS&p_id=10106&p_text_version=FALSE • (Purdue + your dept + your professor are required by law to make you familiar with the location of the Lab Standard.)

  5. Your CHP is …where? • Well, hmm, good question. Where is your CHP? • Do you have one? Need one? • There is a template provided by Purdue. • Your group/professor is supposed to make it adequately group-specific if it is not already. TEMPLATE: • http://www.purdue.edu/rem/home/booklets/CHP2010.pdf Every work area must create a site-specific CHP. (Sometimes the template needs little modification.)

  6. IF YOU WORK IN a place where “NON-laboratory use of hazardous chemicals” is happening, State and Federal regulations (i.e. IN and USA rules) say that there must be a written Hazard Communication Program that addresses the hazards in your specific work area.
