File Standard Operating Procedures Fact Sheet and Template
The OSHA Laboratory Standard requires that Chemical Hygiene Plans include specific elements and measures to ensure employee protection in the laboratory. One such requirement is Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) “relevant to safety and health considerations to be followed when laboratory work involves the use of hazardous chemicals”. This is especially the case if your lab operations include the routine use of "select carcinogens,' reproductive toxins and substances which have a high degree of acute toxicity”. This tool is intended to assist Principal Investigators and staff in the development of Standard Operating Procedures. The key idea with laboratories having standard operating procedures is to ensure a process is in place so that an experiment is well thought out and includes and addresses relevant health and safety issues.
